Discount based on the storewide 35% promotion
= 35% x 1000
=
35100 x 1000
= $350
Amount that Adam has to pay after 35% promotion
= 1000 - 350
= $650
Further discount after another 2% discount
= 2% x 650
=
2100 x 650
= $13
Amount that Adam pays for the computer in all
= 650 - 13
= $637
Answer(s): $637
