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 3% discount
= 3% x 1200
=
3100 x 1200
= $36
Amount that Adam pays for the printer in all
= 1200 - 36
= $1164
Answer(s): $1164
