I might also take a crack at the SQL if I understood the question; but I 
still don't know what you want.  You're initial question indicated you 
were trying to calculate the proper discount for each customer.  This 
example mentions neither customers nor discounts at all and appears to 
be looking for a specific transaction instead.
