Discount based on the storewide 15% promotion
= 15% x 2000
=
15100 x 2000
= $300
Amount that Adam has to pay after 15% promotion
= 2000 - 300
= $1700
Further discount after another 13% discount
= 13% x 1700
=
13100 x 1700
= $221
Amount that Adam pays for the stereo system in all
= 1700 - 221
= $1479
Answer(s): $1479
