(a)
Total amount collected in May
= 165 u + 39 u
= 204 u
204 u = 1020
1 u = 1020 ÷ 204 = 5
Total number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 5
= 15
(b)
Amount that Daniel's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 15 - 13
= $2
Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 5
= 15
Amount that Daniel's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls
= 15 x 2
= $30
Answer(s): (a) 15; (b) $30
