If the original price of the TV was $1,500 and it decreased by 1/5, we need to find 1/5 of $1,500 first:

1/5 x $1,500 = $300

This is the amount of the decrease. To find the new price, we subtract this amount from the original price:

$1,500 - $300 = $1,200

Therefore, the price today is $1,200, which is option B.
