How We Calculated This

95% off $5 means you pay 5% of the original price.

$5 × 0.05 = $0.25

The discount amount is $5 × 0.95 = $4.75, which gets subtracted from the original $5 price.

Rule of 100: For items under $100, percentages sound bigger. "95% off" feels more impressive than "$4.75 off" — even though they’re identical.
