Answer:

The right solution is:

(a) $1,940

(b) $2,813

Explanation:

Given:

Invoice amount

= $8,400

Discount 1

= 33.33%

Discount 2

= 12.5%

So,

The net payable amount will be:

=
8400* [1 - (100)/(300) ]* [1 - (12.5)/(100) ]

=
8400* (2)/(3)* 0.875

=
4900 ($)

Now,

(a)

Amount paid will be:

=
2000* 0.97

=
1940 ($)

Balance still to be paid will be:

=
4900-2000

=
2900 ($)

(b)

Amount paid will be:

=
(4900- 2000)* 0.97

=
2900* 0.97

=
2813 ($)

Balance still to be paid will be:

=
2000 ($)

Thus the above solution is the appropriate one.
