(a)
Total amount collected in July
= 323 u + 48 u
= 371 u
371 u = 4452
1 u = 4452 ÷ 371 = 12
Total number of picture frames delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 12
= 36
(b)
Amount that Ryan's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of picture frames
= 19 - 16
= $3
Number of picture frames delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 12
= 36
Amount that Ryan's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of picture frames
= 36 x 3
= $108
Answer(s): (a) 36; (b) $108
