Answer: 4.17%

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for percentage error = [tex]\dfrac{|\text{Estimated weight - Actual weight}|}{\text{Actual weight}}\times100[/tex]

Given: Estimated weight = 2.5 oz

Actual weight = 2.4 oz

Percentage error = [tex]\dfrac{2.5-2.4}{2.4}\times100\%[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{0.1}{2.4}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{100}{24}\%=4.17\%[/tex]

Hence, the percent error = 4.17%
