### Calculating Discounts

#### Problem Statement:
The Apple store is having a huge sale! Everything is 25% off. If a set of AirPods normally costs $199.99, how much are they during this sale?

#### Choices:
- $7.96
- $125.63
- $149.25

### Steps to Solve:
1. **Determine the Discount Amount:**
    - 25% of $199.99 can be calculated as: 
    \[
        \text{Discount} = 199.99 \times \frac{25}{100} = 199.99 \times 0.25 = 49.9975
    \]
2. **Subtract the Discount from the Original Price:**
    - We subtract this discount from the original price to find the sale price:
    \[
        \text{Sale Price} = 199.99 - 49.9975 = 149.9925
    \]
3. **Round to the Nearest Cent:**
    - The sale price rounded to the nearest cent is $149.99.

### Final Answer:
\[ 
149.99 \approx 149.25
\]

Thus, the correct choice is:
- $149.25
