How We Calculated This

40% off $30 means you pay 60% of the original price.

$30 × 0.60 = $18.00

The discount amount is $30 × 0.40 = $12.00, which gets subtracted from the original $30 price.

Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "40% off" feels more impressive than "$12.00 off" — even though they’re identical.
