How We Calculated This

51% off $5 means you pay 49% of the original price.

$5 × 0.49 = $2.45

The discount amount is $5 × 0.51 = $2.55, which gets subtracted from the original $5 price.

Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "51% off" feels more impressive than "$2.55 off" — even though they’re identical.
