(a)
Total amount collected in September
= 140 u + 30 u
= 170 u
170 u = 1190
1 u = 1190 ÷ 170 = 7
Total number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 7
= 21
(b)
Amount that Riordan's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 14 - 10
= $4
Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 7
= 21
Amount that Riordan's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls
= 21 x 4
= $84
Answer(s): (a) 21; (b) $84
