Help me to calculate ,THX
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
Thank you ^^
