Answer: $22,374

Explanation:

With terms of of 1/10 n (unclear), it means that the customer paid their dues within 10 days and were liable for a sales discount of 1%.

The amount of refund that the customer should get is therefore what they paid which is 1% less than the full amount.

Calculating for that then will be,

= Amount due * (1-discount rate)

= 22,600 * (1 - 0.01)

= $22,374

$22,374 is the amount due for refund.
