Discount based on the storewide 20% promotion
= 20% x 2000
=
20100 x 2000
= $400
Amount that Adam has to pay after 20% promotion
= 2000 - 400
= $1600
Further discount after another 7% discount
= 7% x 1600
=
7100 x 1600
= $112
Amount that Adam pays for the mobile phone in all
= 1600 - 112
= $1488
Answer(s): $1488
