First, we need to calculate the difference between the predicted amount of money and the actual amount spent.
Actual amount spent = $19.75
Predicted amount = $30.00
Difference = $30.00 - $19.75 = $10.25
Next, we need to calculate the percent error.
Percent error = (Difference/ Predicted amount) * 100
Percent error = ($10.25/ $30.00) * 100 ≈ 34.17
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the percent error is 34%.
