(a)
Total amount collected in June
= 266 u + 34 u
= 300 u
300 u = 2100
1 u = 2100 ÷ 300 = 7
Total number of wine bottles delivered on time
= 14 u
= 14 x 7
= 98
(b)
Amount that Valen's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of wine bottles
= 19 - 17
= $2
Number of wine bottles delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 7
= 14
Amount that Valen's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of wine bottles
= 14 x 2
= $28
Answer(s): (a) 98; (b) $28
