How We Calculated This

79% off $5 means you pay 21% of the original price.

$5 × 0.21 = $1.05

The discount amount is $5 × 0.79 = $3.95, which gets subtracted from the original $5 price.

Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "79% off" feels more impressive than "$3.95 off" — even though they’re identical.
