Discount based on the storewide 40% promotion
= 40% x 2000
=
40100 x 2000
= $800
Amount that Adam has to pay after 40% promotion
= 2000 - 800
= $1200
Further discount after another 14% discount
= 14% x 1200
=
14100 x 1200
= $168
Amount that Adam pays for the massage chair in all
= 1200 - 168
= $1032
Answer(s): $1032
