How We Calculated This

2% off $5 means you pay 98% of the original price.

$5 × 0.98 = $4.90

The discount amount is $5 × 0.02 = $0.10, which gets subtracted from the original $5 price.

Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "2% off" feels more impressive than "$0.10 off" — even though they’re identical.
