I guess you have to always calculate the trade discount.. and never calculate cash discount unless they mention a time limit for the cash discount AND when is the payment made.

Guys, I have something to share: whenever there's 2 discounts to apply, i.e. trade and cash discounts, always apply the trade disc. first, deduct it from the original price and apply the cash discount on the new amount

Highest grade threshold last year was 194/240 for an answer. Beautiful. Planning to only miss 40 marks overall for that A*
