Discount based on the storewide 20% promotion
= 20% x 1300
=
20100 x 1300
= $260
Amount that Adam has to pay after 20% promotion
= 1300 - 260
= $1040
Further discount after another 15% discount
= 15% x 1040
=
15100 x 1040
= $156
Amount that Adam pays for the mobile phone in all
= 1040 - 156
= $884
Answer(s): $884
