Discount based on the storewide 40% promotion
= 40% x 1000
=
40100 x 1000
= $400
Amount that Adam has to pay after 40% promotion
= 1000 - 400
= $600
Further discount after another 4% discount
= 4% x 600
=
4100 x 600
= $24
Amount that Adam pays for the projector in all
= 600 - 24
= $576
Answer(s): $576
