C: 20%

Explanation:

To find the percentage of the original cost you are paying, divide the discounted price by the original and multiply by 100%:

#1200/1500 *100% = 0.8*100% = 80%#

If you are paying 80% of the base price, then there is 20% you are not paying. Therefore, your discount is 20%.

Alternately, examine the answers you're given and try to eliminate some possibilities by using critical thinking. A 200% discount would mean you were being paid to order the computer, so we can safely say that answer is incorrect, for example.
