The arithmetic, line by line
| Step | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate as a decimal | 25 ÷ 100 | 0.25 |
| Discount amount | $24.99 × 0.25 | $6.25 |
| Final price | $24.99 − $6.25 | $18.74 |
| Price paid, share of original | $18.74 ÷ $24.99 × 100 | 75% |
On the price ladder $24.99 is entry 5 of 18, sitting $5.00 above $19.99 and $5.00 below $29.99. The same 25% label saves $5.00 on $19.99 against $6.25 here, so the percentage is identical and the money is not — the shelf label tells you the rate, never the amount.
