(a)
Total amount collected in June
= 221 u + 18 u
= 239 u
239 u = 2390
1 u = 2390 ÷ 239 = 10
Total number of plates delivered on time
= 17 u
= 17 x 10
= 170
(b)
Amount that Luis's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of plates
= 13 - 9
= $4
Number of plates delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 10
= 20
Amount that Luis's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of plates
= 20 x 4
= $80
Answer(s): (a) 170; (b) $80
