Discount based on the storewide 10% promotion
= 10% x 3000
=
10100 x 3000
= $300
Amount that Adam has to pay after 10% promotion
= 3000 - 300
= $2700
Further discount after another 2% discount
= 2% x 2700
=
2100 x 2700
= $54
Amount that Adam pays for the hi-fi system in all
= 2700 - 54
= $2646
Answer(s): $2646
