Discount based on the storewide 30% promotion
= 30% x 600
=
30100 x 600
= $180
Amount that Adam has to pay after 30% promotion
= 600 - 180
= $420
Further discount after another 5% discount
= 5% x 420
=
5100 x 420
= $21
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 420 - 21
= $399
Answer(s): $399
