How to calculating percentage error in experiment?

(error / result) * 100 = .... e.g. a mass baance total error is 0.01. I have a readig of 170g so the error would be (0.01/170)*100 = 0.00588g error hope that helps sorry that is wrong btw this is the right formula % error = [accepted value - measured value /divided by/ accepted value] multipled by 100
