Discount based on the storewide 15% promotion
= 15% x 2000
=
15100 x 2000
= $300
Amount that Adam has to pay after 15% promotion
= 2000 - 300
= $1700
Further discount after another 10% discount
= 10% x 1700
=
10100 x 1700
= $170
Amount that Adam pays for the projector in all
= 1700 - 170
= $1530
Answer(s): $1530
