Discount based on the storewide 30% promotion
= 30% x 2200
=
30100 x 2200
= $660
Amount that Adam has to pay after 30% promotion
= 2200 - 660
= $1540
Further discount after another 5% discount
= 5% x 1540
=
5100 x 1540
= $77
Amount that Adam pays for the laptop in all
= 1540 - 77
= $1463
Answer(s): $1463
