(a)
Total amount collected in February
= 300 u + 51 u
= 351 u
351 u = 3510
1 u = 3510 ÷ 351 = 10
Total number of crystal bowls delivered on time
= 15 u
= 15 x 10
= 150
(b)
Amount that Oscar's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 20 - 17
= $3
Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 10
= 30
Amount that Oscar's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls
= 30 x 3
= $90
Answer(s): (a) 150; (b) $90
