(a)
Total amount collected in September
= 190 u + 34 u
= 224 u
224 u = 2240
1 u = 2240 ÷ 224 = 10
Total number of crystal bowls delivered on time
= 10 u
= 10 x 10
= 100
(b)
Amount that Wesley's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 19 - 17
= $2
Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 10
= 20
Amount that Wesley's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls
= 20 x 2
= $40
Answer(s): (a) 100; (b) $40
