NOTE: 2/10, n/30 means that if the amount is paid within 10 days of invoice then the customer will receive 2% discount on purchases, otherwise whole amount is due within 30 days. In this case, Gloria repair shop has paid amount due within 9 days (May 11 – May 2) and therefore is eligible to receive purchase discount of ($900 x 2%)= $18.

Similarly, 1/10, n/30 means that if the amount is paid within 10 days of invoice then the customer will receive 1% discount on purchases, otherwise whole amount is due within 30 days. In this case, Gloria repair shop has paid amount due after 21 days and is therefore not eligible for discount and whole amount will have to be paid.
