Answer:

$\$\ 25$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the absolute error is defined as:

$\epsilon = |x_a - x_e|$

Where:

$\epsilon$ : is the error

$x_a$ : is the approximate value

$x_e$ : is the exact value

In this problem the approximate value was 100 and the exact value was 75. Then we substitute these values in the formula to find the error.

$\epsilon = |100 - 75|\\\epsilon = \$\ 25$
