C.83%
D.16%

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage Error = (Actual Value - Expected Value) / Expected Value * 100

Actual Value = 30

Expected Value = 25

Percentage Error = (30 - 25) / 25 * 100

Percentage Error = (5) / 25 * 100

Percentage Error = 0.2 * 100

Percentage Error = 20
