How We Calculated This

83% off $5 means you pay 17% of the original price.

$5 × 0.17 = $0.85

The discount amount is $5 × 0.83 = $4.15, which gets subtracted from the original $5 price.

Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "83% off" feels more impressive than "$4.15 off" — even though they’re identical.
