ob_start();
if( !$product->is_type('variable') ) {
$regular_price = $product->get_regular_price();
$active_price = $product->get_price();
if( !empty($active_price) && $active_price < $regular_price ) {
$percentage = intval( ( ( $regular_price - $active_price ) / $regular_price ) * 100 );
?>
<br>
<p class="you_save_text_woocommerce">
<b>You Save: <?php echo" (". $percentage."%)"; ?></b>
