An item is regularly priced at $75. It is on sale for 60% off the regular price. How much (in dollars) is discounted from the regular price?

Answer 1

To find out how much is discounted from the regular price of the item, we can calculate 60% of the regular price of $75.

First, we convert the percentage to a decimal:

\[ 60% = 0.60 \]

Next, we multiply the regular price by the decimal:

\[ \text{Discount} = 0.60 \times 75 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Discount} = 45 \]

Therefore, the amount discounted from the regular price is $45.
