(a)
Total amount collected in July
= 130 u + 36 u
= 166 u
166 u = 1660
1 u = 1660 ÷ 166 = 10
Total number of crystal bowls delivered on time
= 10 u
= 10 x 10
= 100
(b)
Amount that Rael's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 13 - 9
= $4
Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 4 u
= 4 x 10
= 40
Amount that Rael's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls
= 40 x 4
= $160
Answer(s): (a) 100; (b) $160
