How We Calculated This
5% off $10 means you pay 95% of the original price.
$10 × 0.95 = $9.50
The discount amount is $10 × 0.05 = $0.50, which gets subtracted from the original $10 price.
Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "5% off" feels more impressive than "$0.50 off" — even though they’re identical.
