How We Calculated This
85% off $10 means you pay 15% of the original price.
$10 × 0.15 = $1.50
The discount amount is $10 × 0.85 = $8.50, which gets subtracted from the original $10 price.
Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "85% off" feels more impressive than "$8.50 off" — even though they’re identical.
