Would you kindly diagram this sentence:

I bought the book for 90% off the regular price.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I was wondering: Could I also put the adjective "ninety"

under the horizontal line that has the word "percent"?

THANK YOU

I think "off of" could be considered a phrasal preposition to simplify the diagram.

Corum, what do you think about my chart?
