Discount based on the storewide 20% promotion
= 20% x 500
=
20100 x 500
= $100
Amount that Adam has to pay after 20% promotion
= 500 - 100
= $400
Further discount after another 3% discount
= 3% x 400
=
3100 x 400
= $12
Amount that Adam pays for the projector in all
= 400 - 12
= $388
Answer(s): $388
