Discount based on the storewide 25% promotion
= 25% x 1800
=
25100 x 1800
= $450
Amount that Adam has to pay after 25% promotion
= 1800 - 450
= $1350
Further discount after another 10% discount
= 10% x 1350
=
10100 x 1350
= $135
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 1350 - 135
= $1215
Answer(s): $1215
