Hmmm... Well, maybe you should stop drinking first, then see if you can see eye to eye with the question.

Thanks.

The part where the distributors were not making full payment makes it a bit confusing to me...

If the the total sales tax is on the cash payments (550,000 & 1,875,00) the the sales tax to the government is 121,250.. The profit then becomes 7.15%

Oh, nice, I see. I studied educational management. Although, I've studied English on my own for many years.
Re: Help Solve This Basic Maths, Please by dave601: 12:17pm On Apr 27, 2022
Thanks Educonomist and NDSMELODY... The phrase "on any cash purchase per year" made me think the 15% discount would just be ignored or something, since the distributors didn't make full cash purchase (I mean, they didn't pay in full).

Do you have any thoughts, pls?

the discount cannot be ignore because that is the reduction rate of the good they bought even if they didn't make full cash payment....this is my thought though

When you observe the statement,, there's " cash purchase" and "cash payments". The cash purchase for X n Y are 1.25 million and 2.5million and cash payments of N550k and 3 quarters respectively. The 15% discount can't be ignored and it's on the cash purchase on any year. The balance (which is the discounted cash purchase minus the actual cash payments) don't have much effect here as the profit for that year would be from the total amount of sales realized(net income/revenue) minus the cost of production
