(a)
Total amount collected in February
= 168 u + 44 u
= 212 u
212 u = 1696
1 u = 1696 ÷ 212 = 8
Total number of picture frames delivered late
= 4 u
= 4 x 8
= 32
(b)
Amount that Luke's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of picture frames
= 14 - 11
= $3
Number of picture frames delivered late
= 4 u
= 4 x 8
= 32
Amount that Luke's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of picture frames
= 32 x 3
= $96
Answer(s): (a) 32; (b) $96
