0.252x = 41
In Algebra, we must keep the equation balanced. What we do to one side, we must do to the other. We also need to isolate the variable x.
Since x is multiplied by 0.252, we must divide the left side by 0.252 to get rid of the 0.252. But, to keep the sides equal, we must do it to both sides.
0.252x/0.252 = 41/0.252
This leaves us with x = 162.69
Estimated amount that Mr. Jones thought would be spending each week for grocery = $120
Amount actually spent by Mr.Jones in the grocery store = $94
Error in calculation of the amount of spending = (120 - 94) dollars
= $26
Percentage error in calculation = (26/120) * 100
= (13/6) * 10
= 130/6
= 21.666 percent
= 21.67 percent
So there is 21.67% error in the calculation of Mr. Jones. I hope you got the answer you were looking for.
