How We Calculated This

15% off $15 means you pay 85% of the original price.

$15 × 0.85 = $12.75

The discount amount is $15 × 0.15 = $2.25, which gets subtracted from the original $15 price.

Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "15% off" feels more impressive than "$2.25 off" — even though they’re identical.
