Discount based on the storewide 40% promotion
= 40% x 2500
=
40100 x 2500
= $1000
Amount that Adam has to pay after 40% promotion
= 2500 - 1000
= $1500
Further discount after another 14% discount
= 14% x 1500
=
14100 x 1500
= $210
Amount that Adam pays for the printer in all
= 1500 - 210
= $1290
Answer(s): $1290
