(a)
Total amount collected in September
= 140 u + 22 u
= 162 u
162 u = 1134
1 u = 1134 ÷ 162 = 7
Total number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 7
= 14
(b)
Amount that Tom's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 14 - 11
= $3
Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 7
= 14
Amount that Tom's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls
= 14 x 3
= $42
Answer(s): (a) 14; (b) $42
