Discount based on the storewide 20% promotion
= 20% x 3000
=
20100 x 3000
= $600
Amount that Adam has to pay after 20% promotion
= 3000 - 600
= $2400
Further discount after another 5% discount
= 5% x 2400
=
5100 x 2400
= $120
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 2400 - 120
= $2280
Answer(s): $2280
