(a)
Total amount collected in May
= 234 u + 20 u
= 254 u
254 u = 2540
1 u = 2540 ÷ 254 = 10
Total number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 10
= 20
(b)
Amount that Bobby's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 13 - 10
= $3
Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 10
= 20
Amount that Bobby's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls
= 20 x 3
= $60
Answer(s): (a) 20; (b) $60
