Explanation:

Credit terms of 1/10, n/30 means there is a discount of 2% is available on payment of due amount within discount period of 10 days after sale with net credit period of 30 days.

As the both payments are made within the discount period. So discount of 1% is availed by the Marshall.

Discount amount = ($8,500 + $11,985) x 1% = $20,485 x 1% = $205

Payment Made = $20,485 - $205 = $20,280
