The weight of a day-old chick was measured to be 0.21g. If the actual weight of the chick is 0.18g, what was the percentage error in the measurement?

A

15.5%

B

18.2%

C

14.8%

D

16.7%

correct option: d

Actual weight = 0.18g

Error = 0.21g - 0.18g = 0.03g

% error = \(\frac{0.03}{0.18} \times 100%\) = 16.7%

% error = 16.7%
