Discount based on the storewide 35% promotion
= 35% x 800
=
35100 x 800
= $280
Amount that Adam has to pay after 35% promotion
= 800 - 280
= $520
Further discount after another 15% discount
= 15% x 520
=
15100 x 520
= $78
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 520 - 78
= $442
Answer(s): $442
