Answer 2

The error of his estimate was $25.

Explanation:

The error of an estimate is given by the estimated value subtracted by the real one. Since John estimated that he would spend $100 and he only spent $75 than the error of his estimate is:

`\text{error} = 100 - 75\\\text{error} = 25`

The error of his estimate was $25.
