Discount based on the storewide 25% promotion
= 25% x 1200
=
25100 x 1200
= $300
Amount that Adam has to pay after 25% promotion
= 1200 - 300
= $900
Further discount after another 6% discount
= 6% x 900
=
6100 x 900
= $54
Amount that Adam pays for the printer in all
= 900 - 54
= $846
Answer(s): $846
