Discount based on the storewide 35% promotion
= 35% x 2500
=
35100 x 2500
= $875
Amount that Adam has to pay after 35% promotion
= 2500 - 875
= $1625
Further discount after another 4% discount
= 4% x 1625
=
4100 x 1625
= $65
Amount that Adam pays for the hi-fi system in all
= 1625 - 65
= $1560
Answer(s): $1560
