Discount based on the storewide 40% promotion
= 40% x 2900
=
40100 x 2900
= $1160
Amount that Adam has to pay after 40% promotion
= 2900 - 1160
= $1740
Further discount after another 10% discount
= 10% x 1740
=
10100 x 1740
= $174
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 1740 - 174
= $1566
Answer(s): $1566
