How We Calculated This
78% off $5 means you pay 22% of the original price.
$5 × 0.22 = $1.10
The discount amount is $5 × 0.78 = $3.90, which gets subtracted from the original $5 price.
Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "78% off" feels more impressive than "$3.90 off" — even though they’re identical.
