The table below lists the original price and the amount of discount of a pair of jeans at four different shops.
 

 

 
Which shop has the lowest sale price for the jeans?

`text(A)`   `text(B)`  `text(C)`  `text(D)`

`text(Consider the sale price at each shop:)`

`text(A)` `= 20 – (25text{%} xx 20) = $15`
`text(B)` `= 21 – (1/3 xx 21) = $14`
`text(C)` `= 18 – (20 text{%} xx 18) = $14.40`
`text(D)` `= 17 – 2 = $15`
