Discount based on the storewide 35% promotion
= 35% x 2000
=
35100 x 2000
= $700
Amount that Adam has to pay after 35% promotion
= 2000 - 700
= $1300
Further discount after another 8% discount
= 8% x 1300
=
8100 x 1300
= $104
Amount that Adam pays for the projector in all
= 1300 - 104
= $1196
Answer(s): $1196
