Discount based on the storewide 15% promotion
= 15% x 2000
=
15100 x 2000
= $300
Amount that Adam has to pay after 15% promotion
= 2000 - 300
= $1700
Further discount after another 12% discount
= 12% x 1700
=
12100 x 1700
= $204
Amount that Adam pays for the massage chair in all
= 1700 - 204
= $1496
Answer(s): $1496
