A jacket is on sale for $15 off. As part of a one-day sale, a 20% discount is applied to all purchases. If x represents the original price of the jacket, which expression represents the final price of the jacket during this sale?

First subtract the $15 markdown from the original price, giving x − 15. The 20% discount means the customer pays 80% of that amount: 0.8(x − 15) = 0.8x − 12. So the final price is represented by 0.8x − 12, choice B.
