    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

        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
