Discount based on the storewide 25% promotion
= 25% x 700
=
25100 x 700
= $175
Amount that Adam has to pay after 25% promotion
= 700 - 175
= $525
Further discount after another 4% discount
= 4% x 525
=
4100 x 525
= $21
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 525 - 21
= $504
Answer(s): $504
