your answer is incorrect.
an item is regularly priced at $40. it is on sale for 30% off the regular price. how much (in dollars) is discounted from the regular price?
your answer
amount discounted: $

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to decimal

To find 30% of 40, first convert 30% to a decimal. 30% is equal to $0.3$ (since $30\%=\frac{30}{100} = 0.3$).

Step2: Multiply by the regular price

Now, multiply this decimal by the regular price of $40$. So, the calculation is $40\times0.3$.
Calculating $40\times0.3$ gives $12$.

Answer:

12
