How We Calculated This

16% off $5 means you pay 84% of the original price.

$5 × 0.84 = $4.20

The discount amount is $5 × 0.16 = $0.80, which gets subtracted from the original $5 price.

Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "16% off" feels more impressive than "$0.80 off" — even though they’re identical.
