How We Calculated This
2% off $1000 means you pay 98% of the original price.
$1000 × 0.98 = $980.00
The discount amount is $1000 × 0.02 = $20.00, which gets subtracted from the original $1000 price.
Rule of 100: For items over $100, dollar amounts sound bigger. "$20.00 off" feels more impressive than "2% off" — even though they’re identical.
