How To Find Percent Error?

Find the true (accepted) value.

Find the experimental (measured) value.

Compute the absolute error: absolute error = |experimental − true|.

Compute percent error: percent error = (absolute error / true) × 100%.

Round the percent error to the desired number of decimal places.

If true value is 0, percent error is not defined; use a different error metric.
