Discount based on the storewide 25% promotion
= 25% x 1700
=
25100 x 1700
= $425
Amount that Adam has to pay after 25% promotion
= 1700 - 425
= $1275
Further discount after another 4% discount
= 4% x 1275
=
4100 x 1275
= $51
Amount that Adam pays for the tablet in all
= 1275 - 51
= $1224
Answer(s): $1224
