(a)
Total amount collected in October
= 130 u + 44 u
= 174 u
174 u = 1044
1 u = 1044 ÷ 174 = 6
Total number of picture frames delivered late
= 4 u
= 4 x 6
= 24
(b)
Amount that Vincent's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of picture frames
= 13 - 11
= $2
Number of picture frames delivered late
= 4 u
= 4 x 6
= 24
Amount that Vincent's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of picture frames
= 24 x 2
= $48
Answer(s): (a) 24; (b) $48
