Consider the following hypothetical scenarios:
Scenario A:    You are about to purchase a pair of 7 for All Mankind jeans for $175 and a t-shirt for $45. The sales attendant at the store tells you that the pair of jeans you wish to buy is on sale for $160 at another store, located about a 20-minute drive away.
Scenario B:    You are about to purchase a pair of 7 for All Mankind jeans for $175 and a t-shirt for $45. The sales attendant at the store tells you that the t-shirt you wish to buy is on sale for $30 at another store, located about a 20-minute drive away.

Based on standard economic theory, under which scenario would you make the 20-minute trip to the other store?
A) Scenario A because the pair of jeans is a very expensive item and $15 saving is quite substantial
B) Scenario B because a $15 saving amounts to a substantial discount (about 33 percent)
C) in either scenario if I think a $15 savings is worth the 20-minute trip
D) in none of these scenarios if I think the $15 saving is not worth the 20-minute trip
E) C and D are correct answers.
