Discount based on the storewide 20% promotion
= 20% x 1500
=
20100 x 1500
= $300
Amount that Adam has to pay after 20% promotion
= 1500 - 300
= $1200
Further discount after another 11% discount
= 11% x 1200
=
11100 x 1200
= $132
Amount that Adam pays for the tablet in all
= 1200 - 132
= $1068
Answer(s): $1068
