better understand the behaviour of the company's costs. One of those costs is the cost of washing cars.

Cash collections from June                       $25,200                      $0

Cash collections from July                        $38,500             $19,250

Cash collections from August                    $17,220            $43,050

<u>Cash collections from September                      $0             $17,800  </u>

Total cash collections                               $80,920             $80,100

I suppose that 5% of the billings are uncollectible since 20% + 50% + 25% = 95%.
