Discount based on the storewide 25% promotion
= 25% x 3000
=
25100 x 3000
= $750
Amount that Adam has to pay after 25% promotion
= 3000 - 750
= $2250
Further discount after another 2% discount
= 2% x 2250
=
2100 x 2250
= $45
Amount that Adam pays for the hi-fi system in all
= 2250 - 45
= $2205
Answer(s): $2205
