    Hi Benny,
    The correct answer is A. Below is the calculation procedures.

    4960*90%= 3924 (this is amount after removing the trade discount.)
    3924*95%= 3727.8 (amount that could be paid if he paid the full amount in 10 days)

    however, he only paid half of the debt. This means that he paid
    3727.8/2 = 1863.9

    the rest of the debt amount was paid without any cash discount. This means the remaining half was 3924/2 = 1962.00

    Thus the amount of money on the pay order = $1962.00+$1863.90 = $3825.90
