Discount based on the storewide 35% promotion
= 35% x 2400
=
35100 x 2400
= $840
Amount that Adam has to pay after 35% promotion
= 2400 - 840
= $1560
Further discount after another 5% discount
= 5% x 1560
=
5100 x 1560
= $78
Amount that Adam pays for the laptop in all
= 1560 - 78
= $1482
Answer(s): $1482
