Problem

The density of a solid metal sphere is determined by measuring its mass and its diameter. The maximum error in the density of the sphere is (x100)%\left( \frac{x}{100} \right) \% . If the relative errors in measuring the mass and the diameter are 6.0% and 1.5% respectively, the value of xx is
