Discount based on the storewide 25% promotion
= 25% x 2000
=
25100 x 2000
= $500
Amount that Adam has to pay after 25% promotion
= 2000 - 500
= $1500
Further discount after another 2% discount
= 2% x 1500
=
2100 x 1500
= $30
Amount that Adam pays for the printer in all
= 1500 - 30
= $1470
Answer(s): $1470
