47.86%

================

To calculate the percentage discount on the item, we need to follow these steps:

1. Find the difference between the original price and the sale price:

  • $28 - $14.60 = $13.40

2. To find the percentage discount, we divide the difference by the original price:

  • $13.40 ÷ $28 = 0.4786

3. Finally, to convert the decimal to a percentage, we multiply by 100:

  • 0.4786 * 100% = 47.86%

So the price of the item was discounted by approximately 47.86%.
