How We Calculated This
55% off $5 means you pay 45% of the original price.
$5 × 0.45 = $2.25
The discount amount is $5 × 0.55 = $2.75, which gets subtracted from the original $5 price.
Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "55% off" feels more impressive than "$2.75 off" — even though they’re identical.
