How We Calculated This
15% off $250 means you pay 85% of the original price.
$250 × 0.85 = $212.50
The discount amount is $250 × 0.15 = $37.50, which gets subtracted from the original $250 price.
Rule of 100: For items over $100, dollar amounts sound bigger. "$37.50 off" feels more impressive than "15% off" — even though they’re identical.
