Let’s try this on a sale item. Hmm, let’s see, the sign says 25% off $6.99. So that’s the same as, let’s say, 7% off $25. Oh, yeah, that is much easier. /s

It’s always as easy as multiplying the two numbers. Obviously some pairs are easier than others. 7x25=175. Not too hard. $1.75 off.

  I mean if you remove the word off it works. 25% off $100 is $25 100% of 25 is 25 it’s still reversible you just let the word off confuse you

    You could also make sure to carry “off” to both sides when you swap:
    
    25% off of $100 is 100% of $25 off
