To calculate the percent error in the thermometer's reading, we use the formula:

Percent Error = (|Measured Value - Actual Value| / Actual Value) * 100%

Given:

- Actual temperature = 25°C

- Thermometer reading = 27°C

Substitute these values into the formula:

Percent Error = (|27 - 25| / 25) * 100%

Percent Error = (|2| / 25) * 100%

Percent Error = (2 / 25) * 100%

Percent Error = 0.08 * 100%

Percent Error = 8%

So, the percent error in the thermometer's reading is 8%.
