How We Calculated This
10% off $250 means you pay 90% of the original price.
$250 × 0.90 = $225.00
The discount amount is $250 × 0.10 = $25.00, which gets subtracted from the original $250 price.
Rule of 100: For items over $100, dollar amounts sound bigger. "$25.00 off" feels more impressive than "10% off" — even though they’re identical.
