(a)
Total amount collected in January
= 260 u + 64 u
= 324 u
324 u = 3240
1 u = 3240 ÷ 324 = 10
Total number of vases delivered on time
= 13 u
= 13 x 10
= 130
(b)
Amount that Justin's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of vases
= 20 - 16
= $4
Number of vases delivered late
= 4 u
= 4 x 10
= 40
Amount that Justin's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of vases
= 40 x 4
= $160
Answer(s): (a) 130; (b) $160
