(a)
Total amount collected in March
= 210 u + 18 u
= 228 u
228 u = 2052
1 u = 2052 ÷ 228 = 9
Total number of wine bottles delivered on time
= 15 u
= 15 x 9
= 135
(b)
Amount that Julian's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of wine bottles
= 14 - 9
= $5
Number of wine bottles delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 9
= 18
Amount that Julian's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of wine bottles
= 18 x 5
= $90
Answer(s): (a) 135; (b) $90
