    To solve for the uncertainty of your mass in kilograms, simply multiply your total mass with the percent uncertainty.

    We know that 4% = 0.04, therefore:

    uncertainty = 60 kg * 0.04

    uncertainty = 2.4 kg

    However since uncertainty covers the upper and lower region, therefore correct answer must be:

    ± 2.4 kg
