(a)
Total amount collected in March
= 196 u + 48 u
= 244 u
244 u = 1952
1 u = 1952 ÷ 244 = 8
Total number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 4 u
= 4 x 8
= 32
(b)
Amount that Cody's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 14 - 12
= $2
Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 4 u
= 4 x 8
= 32
Amount that Cody's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls
= 32 x 2
= $64
Answer(s): (a) 32; (b) $64
