Answer:
40 x 3.50 = 140 (amount Russell would have been paid if he had delivered all 40 hampers undamaged)
140 – 65 = 75
3.50 + 4 = 7.50
75/7.50 = 10
Ans : 10 hampers

Answer:
He damaged 18 hampers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total price of 40 hampers = $3.50 x 40 = $140
Total amount deducted due to hamper damage = $140 - $65 = $75
Total number of hampers he damaged = $75÷4 = 18
