How We Calculated This
28% off $1000 means you pay 72% of the original price.
$1000 × 0.72 = $720.00
The discount amount is $1000 × 0.28 = $280.00, which gets subtracted from the original $1000 price.
Rule of 100: For items over $100, dollar amounts sound bigger. "$280.00 off" feels more impressive than "28% off" — even though they’re identical.
