How We Calculated This

12% off $30 means you pay 88% of the original price.

$30 × 0.88 = $26.40

The discount amount is $30 × 0.12 = $3.60, which gets subtracted from the original $30 price.

Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "12% off" feels more impressive than "$3.60 off" — even though they’re identical.
