(a)
Total amount collected in December
= 198 u + 39 u
= 237 u
237 u = 1422
1 u = 1422 ÷ 237 = 6
Total number of crystal bowls delivered on time
= 11 u
= 11 x 6
= 66
(b)
Amount that Julian's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 18 - 13
= $5
Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 6
= 18
Amount that Julian's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls
= 18 x 5
= $90
Answer(s): (a) 66; (b) $90
