Discount based on the storewide 10% promotion
= 10% x 2500
=
10100 x 2500
= $250
Amount that Adam has to pay after 10% promotion
= 2500 - 250
= $2250
Further discount after another 2% discount
= 2% x 2250
=
2100 x 2250
= $45
Amount that Adam pays for the computer in all
= 2250 - 45
= $2205
Answer(s): $2205
