(a)
Total amount collected in September
= 190 u + 48 u
= 238 u
238 u = 1666
1 u = 1666 ÷ 238 = 7
Total number of crystal bowls delivered on time
= 10 u
= 10 x 7
= 70
(b)
Amount that Paul's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 19 - 16
= $3
Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 7
= 21
Amount that Paul's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls
= 21 x 3
= $63
Answer(s): (a) 70; (b) $63
