Discount based on the storewide 40% promotion
= 40% x 900
=
40100 x 900
= $360
Amount that Adam has to pay after 40% promotion
= 900 - 360
= $540
Further discount after another 15% discount
= 15% x 540
=
15100 x 540
= $81
Amount that Adam pays for the tablet in all
= 540 - 81
= $459
Answer(s): $459
