How We Calculated This
12% off $5 means you pay 88% of the original price.
$5 × 0.88 = $4.40
The discount amount is $5 × 0.12 = $0.60, which gets subtracted from the original $5 price.
Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "12% off" feels more impressive than "$0.60 off" — even though they’re identical.
