Discount based on the storewide 40% promotion
= 40% x 2300
=
40100 x 2300
= $920
Amount that Adam has to pay after 40% promotion
= 2300 - 920
= $1380
Further discount after another 10% discount
= 10% x 1380
=
10100 x 1380
= $138
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 1380 - 138
= $1242
Answer(s): $1242
