Discount based on the storewide 10% promotion
= 10% x 2800
=
10100 x 2800
= $280
Amount that Adam has to pay after 10% promotion
= 2800 - 280
= $2520
Further discount after another 10% discount
= 10% x 2520
=
10100 x 2520
= $252
Amount that Adam pays for the mobile phone in all
= 2520 - 252
= $2268
Answer(s): $2268
