Carlos is analyzing the results of a recent scientific study about gravity. Scientists recorded that the experimental value of gravity was 10.24 m/s² and the general accepted value of gravity is 9.81 m/s².

Percent error is the absolute difference between the experimental and accepted values divided by the accepted value, then multiplied by 100. Here, |10.24 − 9.81| ÷ 9.81 × 100 ≈ 4.38%. So the percent error is 4.38%, choice B.
