(a)
Total amount collected in November
= 209 u + 28 u
= 237 u
237 u = 2844
1 u = 2844 ÷ 237 = 12
Total number of crystal bowls delivered on time
= 11 u
= 11 x 12
= 132
(b)
Amount that David's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 19 - 14
= $5
Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 12
= 24
Amount that David's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls
= 24 x 5
= $120
Answer(s): (a) 132; (b) $120
