Discount based on the storewide 35% promotion
= 35% x 2000
=
35100 x 2000
= $700
Amount that Adam has to pay after 35% promotion
= 2000 - 700
= $1300
Further discount after another 7% discount
= 7% x 1300
=
7100 x 1300
= $91
Amount that Adam pays for the laptop in all
= 1300 - 91
= $1209
Answer(s): $1209
