Discount based on the storewide 40% promotion
= 40% x 1100
=
40100 x 1100
= $440
Amount that Adam has to pay after 40% promotion
= 1100 - 440
= $660
Further discount after another 10% discount
= 10% x 660
=
10100 x 660
= $66
Amount that Adam pays for the projector in all
= 660 - 66
= $594
Answer(s): $594
