    The customer was to pay the discounted sum of $7,840.00 since the correct payment was received by Cherokee industries on the 20th of November.

    Explanation:

    $8000.00

    Credit terms of 2/10, n/30

    using the Net Discount Method for sales

    2/10 means that the customer stands the chance of receiving a discount of 2% if he pay the outstanding on the invoice within 10 days of the purchases.

    Therefore, Discount rate of 2% or 0.02 of $8000.00 =

    $8000.00 x 0.02 = $160.00

    ∴ $8,000.00 - $160.00 = $7,840.00
