Discount based on the storewide 30% promotion
= 30% x 2500
=
30100 x 2500
= $750
Amount that Adam has to pay after 30% promotion
= 2500 - 750
= $1750
Further discount after another 10% discount
= 10% x 1750
=
10100 x 1750
= $175
Amount that Adam pays for the hi-fi system in all
= 1750 - 175
= $1575
Answer(s): $1575
