(a)
Total amount collected in March
= 260 u + 54 u
= 314 u
314 u = 1884
1 u = 1884 ÷ 314 = 6
Total number of picture frames delivered on time
= 13 u
= 13 x 6
= 78
(b)
Amount that Zane's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of picture frames
= 20 - 18
= $2
Number of picture frames delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 6
= 18
Amount that Zane's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of picture frames
= 18 x 2
= $36
Answer(s): (a) 78; (b) $36
