Discount based on the storewide 25% promotion
= 25% x 800
=
25100 x 800
= $200
Amount that Adam has to pay after 25% promotion
= 800 - 200
= $600
Further discount after another 9% discount
= 9% x 600
=
9100 x 600
= $54
Amount that Adam pays for the hi-fi system in all
= 600 - 54
= $546
Answer(s): $546
