Discount based on the storewide 30% promotion
= 30% x 400
=
30100 x 400
= $120
Amount that Adam has to pay after 30% promotion
= 400 - 120
= $280
Further discount after another 15% discount
= 15% x 280
=
15100 x 280
= $42
Amount that Adam pays for the printer in all
= 280 - 42
= $238
Answer(s): $238
