How We Calculated This

30% off $30 means you pay 70% of the original price.

$30 × 0.70 = $21.00

The discount amount is $30 × 0.30 = $9.00, which gets subtracted from the original $30 price.

Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "30% off" feels more impressive than "$9.00 off" — even though they’re identical.
