How We Calculated This
5% off $5 means you pay 95% of the original price.
$5 × 0.95 = $4.75
The discount amount is $5 × 0.05 = $0.25, which gets subtracted from the original $5 price.
Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "5% off" feels more impressive than "$0.25 off" — even though they’re identical.
