Question

Medeco sold goods for $100 to a charge customer. The customer returned for credit $25 worth of goods. Terms of the sale were 1/10,n/30. If the customer pays the amount owed within the discount period, what is the amount the customer should pay?

Answer 1

Answer: $74.25

Explanation:

Sale price of goods = $100

Worth of returned goods = $25

Term of sale = 1/10, n/30

Price if customer pays within the discount period equals :

Term of sale: 1% discount on price if the amount owed is paid within 10 days, else full amount is due in 30 days.

Actual price of goods purchased :

Goods purchased - worth of return

$100 - $25 = $75

Discount on price = 1% of $75

(1/ 100) × $75

0.01 × $75 = $0.75

Amount customer should pay:

$75 - $0.75 = $74.25
