Discount based on the storewide 40% promotion
= 40% x 200
=
40100 x 200
= $80
Amount that Adam has to pay after 40% promotion
= 200 - 80
= $120
Further discount after another 10% discount
= 10% x 120
=
10100 x 120
= $12
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 120 - 12
= $108
Answer(s): $108
