We want to calculate the bulk buy discounts:

Some sales will qualify for 10% discount, some 5%, some none.
In cell E4, create a nested =IF that calculates the correct bulk buy discount percentage. Use this to help you:
- If quantity >=20 the customer should get 10%
- If quantity >=10 the customer should get 5%
- Anything less the customer should get no discount
Remember the nested =IF function has the
following structure:
=IF(Condition1, True1, False1 is IF(Condition2, True2, False2))
Lower the order thresholds and change the discount percentages to check that your formula works:

When you lower the thresholds, a few more items get discounts.
