The combined original price for a jacket and a pair of jeans is $80. After a 15% discount is applied to the jacket and a 20% discount is applied to the jeans, the combined sale price for the two items is $66. Which system of equations gives the original price $j$ , in dollars, of the jacket and the original price $g$ , in dollars, of the jeans?

A.

$j + g = 80 0.85 j + 0.80 g = 66$

B.

$j + g = 80 0.15 j + 0.20 g = 66$

C.

$j + g = 80 0.80 j + 0.85 g = 66$

D.

$j + g = 80 0.75 j + 0.80 g = 66$
