#26%#

Explanation:

To find the percent error, first, find the amount of the error by subtracting the accepted value from the experimental value.

#"error" = 315 -250 = 65#

Second, take the amount of error and divide it by the accepted value and multiply by #100%# to turn it into a percent

#( 65 xx 100%)/ 250 = 26%#

Note

The value cannot be rounded to the nearest hundredth percent because whole numbers cannot be rounded by adding decimals.
