Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Expected measurement required = 10g

Actual measurement observed = 15g

The percentage error is given as proportion the difference between the actual and expected measurement or values and the expected value value expressed as a percentage.

[(Actual - Expected) / Expected] × 100%

[(15 - 10) / 10)] × 100%

(5 / 10) × 100%

0.5 × 100%

50%

Therefore, the percentage error in the measurement is 50%
