Discount based on the storewide 30% promotion
= 30% x 1600
=
30100 x 1600
= $480
Amount that Adam has to pay after 30% promotion
= 1600 - 480
= $1120
Further discount after another 15% discount
= 15% x 1120
=
15100 x 1120
= $168
Amount that Adam pays for the hi-fi system in all
= 1120 - 168
= $952
Answer(s): $952
