Answer:

The percentage error is 1.56℅.

Step-by-step explanation:

We find percentage error by:

[(Difference between true value and wrong value)/ True value]*100

True value= 5.78*10^3 = 5780 [ converting into whole numbers for convenience]

Wrong value= 5.87* 10^3 = 5870

Difference between both the values= 5870-5780 = 90

So, percentage error= (90/5780) *100 = 1.557℅ or 1.56℅.

Hence, the percentage error from the given observation is 1.56℅.

Answer:

1.56%

Step-by-step explanation:

Error =5.87×10^3 - 5.78×10^3=0.09 (this is complex so don't take this take the error given above FORMULA

To make it simpler

5.87×1000 (simplify the power 10^3=1000)=

5870(wrongly written number)

5.78×1000(simplify the power 10^3=1000)=5780( the original number)

Error =5870- 5780 =90

FORMULA

Percentage error =error /original number ×100%

percentage error = 90/5780 ×100%

when you solve this(90/5780×100%) the answer will come in decimals 1.55and on and on so, you just need two numbers after the decimal point .As this number is a recurring number the second number can be changed to the next that is 1.55 Can be changed to 1.56% that's your answer
