Thank you for using Chegg
| No of Claypots carried (A) | = | 578 | |||||
| Fixed price paid by florist (B) | = | 200 | $ | ||||
| Price given for every safe delivery © | = | 1 | $/pot | ||||
| Price bore by moving company (D) | = | 4 | $/pot | ||||
| (for lost or broken pots) | |||||||
| Pots lost (E) | = | 2 | |||||
| Pots Broken (F) | = | 4 | |||||
| Pots delivered safely (G= A - E -F) | = | 572 | |||||
| Amount bore for lost pots (H=E*D) | = | 8 | $ | ||||
| Amount bore for broken pots (I=F*D) | = | 16 | $ | ||||
| Amount given by florist for safe delivery (J=G*C) | = | 572 | $ | ||||
| Hence total amount paid to moving company (B+J-H-I) | = | 748 | $ | Answer |
