How We Calculated This
42% off $5 means you pay 58% of the original price.
$5 × 0.58 = $2.90
The discount amount is $5 × 0.42 = $2.10, which gets subtracted from the original $5 price.
Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "42% off" feels more impressive than "$2.10 off" — even though they’re identical.
