Discount based on the storewide 40% promotion
= 40% x 500
=
40100 x 500
= $200
Amount that Adam has to pay after 40% promotion
= 500 - 200
= $300
Further discount after another 12% discount
= 12% x 300
=
12100 x 300
= $36
Amount that Adam pays for the printer in all
= 300 - 36
= $264
Answer(s): $264
