How We Calculated This

20% off $10 means you pay 80% of the original price.

$10 × 0.80 = $8.00

The discount amount is $10 × 0.20 = $2.00, which gets subtracted from the original $10 price.

Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "20% off" feels more impressive than "$2.00 off" — even though they’re identical.
