How We Calculated This
50% off $100 means you pay 50% of the original price.
$100 × 0.50 = $50.00
The discount amount is $100 × 0.50 = $50.00, which gets subtracted from the original $100 price.
Rule of 100: For items over $100, dollar amounts sound bigger. "$50.00 off" feels more impressive than "50% off" — even though they’re identical.
