Answer:

B


Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error of 4% means that the actual number would be either 4% less or 4% more than what it states.

So what is 4% of the stated 15,000?

[tex](0.04)(15,000)=600[/tex]

So the actual could be 15,000 + 600 = 15,600, or 15,000 - 600 = 14,400


Answer choice B is right.
