(a)
Total amount collected in September
= 126 u + 30 u
= 156 u
156 u = 1560
1 u = 1560 ÷ 156 = 10
Total number of wine bottles delivered on time
= 9 u
= 9 x 10
= 90
(b)
Amount that Valen's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of wine bottles
= 14 - 10
= $4
Number of wine bottles delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 10
= 30
Amount that Valen's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of wine bottles
= 30 x 4
= $120
Answer(s): (a) 90; (b) $120
