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 3% discount
= 3% x 1500
=
3100 x 1500
= $45
Amount that Adam pays for the printer in all
= 1500 - 45
= $1455
Answer(s): $1455
