Discount based on the storewide 30% promotion
= 30% x 3000
=
30100 x 3000
= $900
Amount that Adam has to pay after 30% promotion
= 3000 - 900
= $2100
Further discount after another 6% discount
= 6% x 2100
=
6100 x 2100
= $126
Amount that Adam pays for the laptop in all
= 2100 - 126
= $1974
Answer(s): $1974
