TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating

Hi I'm getting an error, but it is not affecting the result of the code.

TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating '( (jQuery.event.special[ handleObj.origType ] || {}).handle || handleObj.handler ) .apply( matched.elem, args )')

what is wrong with my code?

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".quoteform").on("click","button", function(){
        var $price = $("#terminate").on("change","option").val();
        var $area = $("#area").val();
        var $total = $area * $price;    
        if($price == 0){
           alert("please choose a pest");
        }else{
            $("#quote").attr("value",$total);
        }
    });
});

If you are using Wordpress, use jQuery as the variable name, not $. JQuery(document).ready(function(){ instead of $(document).ready(function(){ here is some info on that if you are curious: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.noConflict/
