Discount based on the storewide 35% promotion
= 35% x 1200
=
35100 x 1200
= $420
Amount that Adam has to pay after 35% promotion
= 1200 - 420
= $780
Further discount after another 10% discount
= 10% x 780
=
10100 x 780
= $78
Amount that Adam pays for the printer in all
= 780 - 78
= $702
Answer(s): $702
