What is 20% off?
That is, if there is a 20% sale of an item that costs $100 (or €100), how much is that in USD/EUR, etc. In this case those 20 percent off means 20 bucks will remain in your pocket when you purchase. When we see $20 off instead of $10 off for a $200 item, we think of the number 20, which is higher, so better. Mathematically, amount offs will look bigger than percentage offs when the price is higher than 100. When we perceive a promotion as better value, we’re more likely to buy it.
