An item is regularly priced at 

$80

. It is on sale for 

60%

 off the regular price. How much (in dollars) is discounted from the regular price?


Amountdiscounted:$

The amount discounted can be calculated as:

\[
\text{Discount} = \text{Regular Price} \times \left(\frac{\text{Discount Percentage}}{100}\right)
\]

In this case:

\[
\text{Discount} = 80 \times \left(\frac{60}{100}\right) = 80 \times 0.60 = 48
\]

So, the amount discounted is **$48**.
