(a)
Total amount collected in November
= 170 u + 24 u
= 194 u
194 u = 1940
1 u = 1940 ÷ 194 = 10
Total number of wine bottles delivered on time
= 10 u
= 10 x 10
= 100
(b)
Amount that Tommy's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of wine bottles
= 17 - 12
= $5
Number of wine bottles delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 10
= 20
Amount that Tommy's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of wine bottles
= 20 x 5
= $100
Answer(s): (a) 100; (b) $100
