(a)
Total amount collected in January
= 190 u + 45 u
= 235 u
235 u = 2115
1 u = 2115 ÷ 235 = 9
Total number of vases delivered on time
= 10 u
= 10 x 9
= 90
(b)
Amount that Bryan's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of vases
= 19 - 15
= $4
Number of vases delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 9
= 27
Amount that Bryan's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of vases
= 27 x 4
= $108
Answer(s): (a) 90; (b) $108
