Answer:

The DVD cost 0.25 times more than the video game.

Explanation:

The video game cost $36 and the DVD cost $9. To find out how many times more the DVD cost than the video game, we can divide the cost of the DVD by the cost of the video game.

$9 (cost of DVD) / $36 (cost of video game) = 0.25

So, the DVD cost 0.25 times or 25% of the price of the video game.

To put it another way, the DVD cost 1/4th or a quarter of the price of the video game.

Therefore, the DVD cost 0.25 times more than the video game.
