How much did John get for his old system? ** He got 250*.8=$<<250*.8=200>>200
How much did John get a discount on the second system? ** He gets a 600*.25=$<<600*.25=150>>150 discount on the second system
How much did John's second system cost? ** So it cost 600-150=$<<600-150=450>>450
How much money came out of his pocket? ** So he was 450-200=$<<450-200=250>>250 out of pocket
