Discount based on the storewide 10% promotion
= 10% x 1500
=
10100 x 1500
= $150
Amount that Adam has to pay after 10% promotion
= 1500 - 150
= $1350
Further discount after another 6% discount
= 6% x 1350
=
6100 x 1350
= $81
Amount that Adam pays for the massage chair in all
= 1350 - 81
= $1269
Answer(s): $1269
