How We Calculated This

42% off $15 means you pay 58% of the original price.

$15 × 0.58 = $8.70

The discount amount is $15 × 0.42 = $6.30, which gets subtracted from the original $15 price.

Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "42% off" feels more impressive than "$6.30 off" — even though they’re identical.
