Discount based on the storewide 40% promotion
= 40% x 500
=
40100 x 500
= $200
Amount that Adam has to pay after 40% promotion
= 500 - 200
= $300
Further discount after another 13% discount
= 13% x 300
=
13100 x 300
= $39
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 300 - 39
= $261
Answer(s): $261
