Explanation / Answer

March Sales = $9000

Out of this 20% are on store account = 20% of 9000 = $1800

March sales revenue collected in April = 70% of 1800 = $1260

March sales revenue collected in May = 28% of 1800 = $504

April Sales = $10000

Out of this 20% are on store account = 20% of 10000 = $2000

April sales revenue collected in May = 70% of 2000 = $1400

April sales revenue collected in June = 28% of 2000 = $560

May Sales = $10800

May sales revenue collected in May = 10800*47%(50%-3%) + 10800*30% = %15876

Out of this 20% are on store account = 20% of 10800 = $2160

May sales revenue collected in June = 70% of 2160 = $1512

June Sales = $18800

June sales revenue collected in June = 18800*47%(50%-3%) + 18800*30% = $14476
