Answer: 3.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

(0.6/16.6)x100=3.61445783133

so rounded to the nearest tenth is 3.6%

The computation of percentage error involves the use of the absolute error, which is simply the difference between the observed and the true value. The absolute error is then divided by the true value, resulting in the relative error, which is multiplied by 100 to obtain the percentage error.
