Answer:

$378

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to calculate the discounted price of camera offered by sale, which shall be calculated as follow:

Price of camera after discount=$450*0.60=$270

Now we have to calculate the new adjusted price of camera, which has been increased by 40%:

Price of camera after price increase=$270*1.40=$378
