Discount based on the storewide 25% promotion
= 25% x 2200
=
25100 x 2200
= $550
Amount that Adam has to pay after 25% promotion
= 2200 - 550
= $1650
Further discount after another 14% discount
= 14% x 1650
=
14100 x 1650
= $231
Amount that Adam pays for the massage chair in all
= 1650 - 231
= $1419
Answer(s): $1419
