Discount based on the storewide 20% promotion
= 20% x 1500
=
20100 x 1500
= $300
Amount that Adam has to pay after 20% promotion
= 1500 - 300
= $1200
Further discount after another 4% discount
= 4% x 1200
=
4100 x 1200
= $48
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 1200 - 48
= $1152
Answer(s): $1152
