Don't understand refund given on store return.

Question

Purchased boxes for $23.70 and a microwave for $189; = $212.70 before tax.

I used store credit and 10% mover discount to pay:  $212.70 - 21.27 (10% discount) = 191.43 + tax = $206.68 - 13.54 (store credit) = $193.14.

I returned the microwave and was credited $183.67.  Was told the store credit was taken off the merchandise (as opposed to microwave). I don't understand!

Answer 1

The store credit was not involved in the refund amount for the microwave, but the 10% mover discount was.  They took the $189, and subtracted the 10% of $18.90 to get $170.10, then added $13.57 of tax to arrive at your refund amount of $183.67. I hope this helps.
