Scenario
A business has different types of customers - company customers and individual customers both of whom can be long term customers (5yr for company customer and 7 代写留学生论文yr for individual customers).
Discounts are given on purchases as follows:
Company customers will always get a 10% discount on a purchase but also an extra 5% if the order value exceeds £100. If the purchaser is a long term customer then an extra 3% is allowed.
Individual customers will get a 5% discount on purchases over £150 and an extra 3% if a long term customer.
