Discount based on the storewide 35% promotion
= 35% x 1500
=
35100 x 1500
= $525
Amount that Adam has to pay after 35% promotion
= 1500 - 525
= $975
Further discount after another 12% discount
= 12% x 975
=
12100 x 975
= $117
Amount that Adam pays for the projector in all
= 975 - 117
= $858
Answer(s): $858
