How We Calculated This
15% off $5 means you pay 85% of the original price.
$5 × 0.85 = $4.25
The discount amount is $5 × 0.15 = $0.75, which gets subtracted from the original $5 price.
Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "15% off" feels more impressive than "$0.75 off" — even though they’re identical.
