Why Can't I Combine CSS-Transform with CSS Calc?

Question

transform-origin: calc(100% - (44px / 2)) 44px / 2;

It seems to invalidate things and just makes it regress to default transform-origin: center.

The point is that I need to 'responsively' calculate the x-offset of transform-origin somehow.

You know what? This is actually a bad question. I meant to ask it in reference to working with Sass variables, but I substituted the literal values, so it actually looks really weird and is poorly asked. — CodeFinity

If the last 44px / 2 wasn't a typo, delete that. That is outside the calc(). If it is a typo, can you give us some more code? Some html would be nice.

Heres a JSFiddle

Here's what ended up working:

transform-origin: calc(100% - #{$hit-area} / 2) ($hit-area / 2);
