Discount based on the storewide 10% promotion
= 10% x 1600
=
10100 x 1600
= $160
Amount that Adam has to pay after 10% promotion
= 1600 - 160
= $1440
Further discount after another 15% discount
= 15% x 1440
=
15100 x 1440
= $216
Amount that Adam pays for the laptop in all
= 1440 - 216
= $1224
Answer(s): $1224
