(a)
Total amount collected in December
= 180 u + 26 u
= 206 u
206 u = 1030
1 u = 1030 ÷ 206 = 5
Total number of plates delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 5
= 10
(b)
Amount that Lee's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of plates
= 15 - 13
= $2
Number of plates delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 5
= 10
Amount that Lee's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of plates
= 10 x 2
= $20
Answer(s): (a) 10; (b) $20
