(a)
Total amount collected in August
= 154 u + 27 u
= 181 u
181 u = 1810
1 u = 1810 ÷ 181 = 10
Total number of picture frames delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 10
= 30
(b)
Amount that Caden's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of picture frames
= 14 - 9
= $5
Number of picture frames delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 10
= 30
Amount that Caden's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of picture frames
= 30 x 5
= $150
Answer(s): (a) 30; (b) $150
