What kinds of prices / percentages would be more challenging to give you a whole number discounted amount?
Answer
If you’re ok with using a leading 0, then the least difference found so far is a $12 item a 75% discount costs $03.

I believe that $12 at a 75% discount costs $3. 🙂
Good catch!
$35 at an 80% discount is $7
$25 at a 96% discount is $01.
My students got this today!
$75 item at 96% off will cost $3.
if you’re not okay with using a leading zero, would it be 75% off a $48 item would be $12?
