Jan and Bob run a family business. Jan put a sign up to take 25% off a $999.00 laptop computer. The laptop computer did not sell, so Jan reduced the sale price an additional 20%. Bob suggested that Jan just take 45% of the original price because this would be the same as the sale price. Is Bob correct?

(A) No, Bob's method has a greater effect on the sale price.

(B) No, Jan's method has a greater effect on the sale price.

(C) Yes, the sale price for both Jan's method and Bob's method is $599.40.

(D) Yes, the sale price for both Jan's and Bob's method is $749.25.
