Discount based on the storewide 25% promotion
= 25% x 800
=
25100 x 800
= $200
Amount that Adam has to pay after 25% promotion
= 800 - 200
= $600
Further discount after another 7% discount
= 7% x 600
=
7100 x 600
= $42
Amount that Adam pays for the mobile phone in all
= 600 - 42
= $558
Answer(s): $558
