Discount based on the storewide 35% promotion
= 35% x 3000
=
35100 x 3000
= $1050
Amount that Adam has to pay after 35% promotion
= 3000 - 1050
= $1950
Further discount after another 12% discount
= 12% x 1950
=
12100 x 1950
= $234
Amount that Adam pays for the laptop in all
= 1950 - 234
= $1716
Answer(s): $1716
