Discount based on the storewide 40% promotion
= 40% x 1500
=
40100 x 1500
= $600
Amount that Adam has to pay after 40% promotion
= 1500 - 600
= $900
Further discount after another 13% discount
= 13% x 900
=
13100 x 900
= $117
Amount that Adam pays for the projector in all
= 900 - 117
= $783
Answer(s): $783
