A cargo ship encounters a storm at sea and is delayed by two weeks. Once it reaches its destination, the crew discover that 3 out of the 81 crates of fruit that it carried have spoilt because of the delay. The crew decide to divide the unspoilt crates equally among their 13 different customers, and that whatever remains can be sold separately.
Find the number of crates of fruit each customer will receive.
Each crate contained 32 kg of fruit and each kilogram of fruit could be sold for \$4. Calculate the loss incurred by the crew because of the spoilage.
