    The density of an object can be calculated using the formula Density = Mass/Volume.

    Experimental Density:

    Density = 153.8g / 20.00 cm^3

    Density = 7.69g/cm^3

    Percent error equation:

    % Error = | Theoretical Value - Experimental Value|/Theoretical Value * 100

    % Error = | 7.87g/cm^3 - 7.69g/cm^3|/7.87g/cm^3 * 100

    % Error = 2.29%

    Therefore a is the correct answer.
