How We Calculated This
85% off $5 means you pay 15% of the original price.
$5 × 0.15 = $0.75
The discount amount is $5 × 0.85 = $4.25, which gets subtracted from the original $5 price.
Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "85% off" feels more impressive than "$4.25 off" — even though they’re identical.
