    Marissa and Jarod plan to purchase DVD players with a regular price of $199.99. The DVD players are on sale for 25% off.

    => Marissa starts by calculating 25% of $199.99.

    25% of 199.99 dollars

    25% = 0.25

    199.99 *.25 = 49.99 dollars

    => Jarod calculates 75% of $199.99.

    75% =.75

    199.99 *.75 = 149.99 dollars

    Do both methods result in the same sale price? Explain.
