Discount based on the storewide 25% promotion
= 25% x 2800
=
25100 x 2800
= $700
Amount that Adam has to pay after 25% promotion
= 2800 - 700
= $2100
Further discount after another 10% discount
= 10% x 2100
=
10100 x 2100
= $210
Amount that Adam pays for the stereo system in all
= 2100 - 210
= $1890
Answer(s): $1890
