Discount based on the storewide 30% promotion
= 30% x 800
=
30100 x 800
= $240
Amount that Adam has to pay after 30% promotion
= 800 - 240
= $560
Further discount after another 15% discount
= 15% x 560
=
15100 x 560
= $84
Amount that Adam pays for the mobile phone in all
= 560 - 84
= $476
Answer(s): $476
