(a)
Total amount collected in December
= 182 u + 44 u
= 226 u
226 u = 1356
1 u = 1356 ÷ 226 = 6
Total number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 4 u
= 4 x 6
= 24
(b)
Amount that John's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 13 - 11
= $2
Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 4 u
= 4 x 6
= 24
Amount that John's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls
= 24 x 2
= $48
Answer(s): (a) 24; (b) $48
