Margie calculated that she would spend $175 on school supplies this year. She actually spent $97.50 on school supplies. What is Margie’s percent of error?
77.3%
79.5%
44.2%
4.4%
(IF Someone can explain why that would be gr8)

error=100 calculated/actual

error=100 (175-97.5) / 97.5

error=100 (77.5) / 97.5

error=7750 / 97.5

error=77500 / 975

error=3100 / 39

error=79.5% <-- Estimated

Yeah I agree with him I STG I tried to divide first, and then I came to Brainly to make sure. In other words, if there is another question like this, divide the first number in the problem (in this case 175) by the second number in the problem (in this case 97.50) and it did say "1.7948)". Ignore the "1." and just focus on the four numbers after that. So 79 is an answer. Then focus on the two number after (in this case the two numbers after 79) which is 48 in this case. Round this number to the nearest tenth, and there is your answer.
