Learn English – Discount vs. off

idioms

I wonder if someone could tell me which one of the following sentences sounds idiomatic:

a) These jeans have 25% off.
b) These jeans have 25% discount.
c) These jeans have a discount of 25%.
d) These jeans are selling for 25% off.
e) These jeans are selling at a discount of 25%.

For me only d and e are idiomatic and both seem to be natural and of course identical.

Best Answer

These jeans are 25 percent off.

is even more idiomatic. There's nothing wrong with d) or e). A small change to b) or c) gives:

These jeans have a 25% discount.

which is a little more natural than d) or e).
