How We Calculated This

5% off $15 means you pay 95% of the original price.

$15 × 0.95 = $14.25

The discount amount is $15 × 0.05 = $0.75, which gets subtracted from the original $15 price.

Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "5% off" feels more impressive than "$0.75 off" — even though they’re identical.
