How We Calculated This
20% off $40 means you pay 80% of the original price.
$40 × 0.80 = $32.00
The discount amount is $40 × 0.20 = $8.00, which gets subtracted from the original $40 price.
Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "20% off" feels more impressive than "$8.00 off" — even though they’re identical.
