Discount based on the storewide 10% promotion
= 10% x 800
=
10100 x 800
= $80
Amount that Adam has to pay after 10% promotion
= 800 - 80
= $720
Further discount after another 15% discount
= 15% x 720
=
15100 x 720
= $108
Amount that Adam pays for the computer in all
= 720 - 108
= $612
Answer(s): $612
