(a)
Total amount collected in June
= 209 u + 48 u
= 257 u
257 u = 2570
1 u = 2570 ÷ 257 = 10
Total number of plates delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 10
= 30
(b)
Amount that Andy's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of plates
= 19 - 16
= $3
Number of plates delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 10
= 30
Amount that Andy's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of plates
= 30 x 3
= $90
Answer(s): (a) 30; (b) $90
