(a)
Total amount collected in February
= 280 u + 34 u
= 314 u
314 u = 3454
1 u = 3454 ÷ 314 = 11
Total number of plates delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 11
= 22
(b)
Amount that Fabian's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of plates
= 20 - 17
= $3
Number of plates delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 11
= 22
Amount that Fabian's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of plates
= 22 x 3
= $66
Answer(s): (a) 22; (b) $66
