Given:
The recorded value is 250 points.
The true value is 300 points.
To find the percent error:
Using the formula,
[tex]P\text{ercent error}=\frac{|recorded\text{ value}-\text{true value|}}{\text{True value}}\times100\text{ \%}[/tex]On substitution we get,
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{|250-300|}{300}\times100 \\ =\frac{50}{300}\times100 \\ =16.67\text{ \%} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the percent error is 16.67 %.
