Answer 1

The actual amount that should be credited is 757.57.

Explanation:

Joanne's Dress Shop received an invoice dated July 25 for $1,400 with terms of 2/10, 1/15, n/60.

This means 2% discount on payment within 10 days

1% discount on payment within 15 days

of full payment within 60 days.

Joanne sent a partial payment of $750 on August 8th. that is within 15 days, so she got the discount of 1% on her payment.

Let the actual amount was paid be x

99% of x = 750

`(99)/(100)` x = 750

x =
`(750)/(0.99)` = 757.57

The actual amount that should be credited is 757.57.
