    Given:

    Discount = original price * discount fraction

    Discounted price = original price - discount

    Discount fraction = 20%

    = 20/100

    A.

    Original price of shirt = $x

    Original price of hat = $ (x + 10)

    Discounted price of shirt = $x - $0.2x

    = $0.8x

    Discounted price of hat = $ (x + 10)

    - 0.2$ (x + 10)

    = $0.8 * (x + 10)

    Difference of discounted price of hat to shirt = 0.8 (x + 10) - 0.8x

    = $8

    B.

    Original price of shirt = $x

    Original price of hat = $ 1.5 * x

    Discounted price of shirt = $x - $0.2x

    = $0.8x

    Discounted price of hat = $ 1.5 * x

    - 0.2 * $ 1.5 * x

    = $ 1.2x

    Difference of discounted price of hat to shirt = 1.2x - 0.8x

    = $ 0.4x
