Discount based on the storewide 35% promotion
= 35% x 2500
=
35100 x 2500
= $875
Amount that Adam has to pay after 35% promotion
= 2500 - 875
= $1625
Further discount after another 12% discount
= 12% x 1625
=
12100 x 1625
= $195
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 1625 - 195
= $1430
Answer(s): $1430
