"A company collects 60% of its sales during the month of the sale"
___ October sales are 30,000
___ so the company collects 18,000 in Oct., from Oct.

"30% one month after the sale"
___ September sales are 20,000
___ so the company collects 6,000 in Oct., from Sept.

"10% two months after the sale"
___ August sales are 10,000
___ so the company collects 1,000 in Oct., from Aug.

the company collects a total of 25,000 in October (18000 + 6000 + 1000)
