How We Calculated This
5% off $1000 means you pay 95% of the original price.
$1000 × 0.95 = $950.00
The discount amount is $1000 × 0.05 = $50.00, which gets subtracted from the original $1000 price.
Rule of 100: For items over $100, dollar amounts sound bigger. "$50.00 off" feels more impressive than "5% off" — even though they’re identical.
