Discount based on the storewide 10% promotion
= 10% x 3000
=
10100 x 3000
= $300
Amount that Adam has to pay after 10% promotion
= 3000 - 300
= $2700
Further discount after another 6% discount
= 6% x 2700
=
6100 x 2700
= $162
Amount that Adam pays for the tablet in all
= 2700 - 162
= $2538
Answer(s): $2538
