(a)
Total amount collected in March
= 208 u + 36 u
= 244 u
244 u = 2928
1 u = 2928 ÷ 244 = 12
Total number of picture frames delivered on time
= 16 u
= 16 x 12
= 192
(b)
Amount that Rael's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of picture frames
= 13 - 9
= $4
Number of picture frames delivered late
= 4 u
= 4 x 12
= 48
Amount that Rael's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of picture frames
= 48 x 4
= $192
Answer(s): (a) 192; (b) $192
