    Statement A:

    The price of a winter coat and a 20% discount

    Let the price of the coat = x

    20% discount = 20% of x = 0.20 * x = 0.20x

    The price after the discount = x - 0.20x = 0.80x

    Statement B:

    Let the base salary be 'x'

    2% increase = 2% of x = 0.02 * x = 0.02x

    The salary after increase = x + 0.02x = 1.02x

    Statement C:

    Let the cost of groceries be 'x'

    2% discount means 2% of x = 2% * x = 0.02x

    The cost after discount = x - 0.02x = 0.98x

    Statement D:

    Let the number of students attending last year be 'x'

    20% of x = 20% * x = 0.2x

    The number after increase = x + 0.2x = 1.02x

    The pairs are

    Statement A ⇒ Expression 2

    Statement B ⇒ Expression 1

    Statement C ⇒ Expression 4

    Statement D ⇒ Expression 3
