In summary, solving the equation {|g-g^exp|}/g*100 with g=980 allows for the determination of the percentage difference between two values, g and g^exp, using a fixed value of g=980. This can be useful in various real-life applications such as error analysis, comparison of experimental and theoretical values, and calculating percentage changes in stock market values. To solve the equation, one can substitute the value of g=980 and follow a series of steps involving calculating g^exp, finding the absolute value of the difference between g and g^exp, and multiplying by 100. The symbol | | in the equation represents the absolute value of a number. While a different value for g can be used, using
