Thank you for taking the time to copy your homework to AMHD.
Please refer to this announcement: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/financ...-b-u-font.html

Thank you for taking the time to copy it twice. I've deleted your duplicate. And I also deleted all those drop-down choices because we don't need them and it'll save scrolling. (I would also suggest doing your work on paper first cause the drop-down menus prevent you from thinking for yourself and therefore don't promote really learning.)

This is an entire chapter's worth of stuff. No one can explain that much to you in a forum posting. And both problems are exactly the same except for one being a premium and one being a discount. If you learn the concept of how to do one, you can do the other.

What attempts have you made? Post them. It's easier to explain where you are going wrong than try to "give hints" on an entire topic area.
