An item is regularly priced at $35.

Cost price of item = $35

Lena bought it on sale for 20% off the regular price

i.e. 20% of 35 is off in the item of cost $35

So, The amount Leena will paid = $35- 20% of 35


\begin{gathered} \text{Amount L}eena\text{ will pay =}35-20\text{ \%of35} \\ \text{Amount L}eena\text{ will pay}=35-(20*35)/(100) \\ \text{Amount L}eena\text{ will pay}=35-7 \\ \text{Amount L}eena\text{ will pay}=28\text{ dollars} \end{gathered}

So, Leena will pay $28

Answer: $28
