Tommy's freight forwarding company charges $16 for picture frames delivered on time and $12 for picture frames delivered late. In the month of May, Tommy's freight forwarding company collected $2208. For every 18 picture frames delivered, 15 were delivered on time and 3 were delivered late.

1. What was the total number of picture frames delivered late?
2. How much less money did Tommy's freight forwarding company collect in May due to the late deliveries of the picture frames?

	On time	Late	Total
Number	15 u	3 u
Value	16	12
Total Value	240 u	36 u	276 u

(a)
Total amount collected in May
= 240 u + 36 u
= 276 u

276 u = 2208

1 u = 2208 ÷ 276 = 8

Total number of picture frames delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 8
= 24

(b)
Amount that Tommy's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of picture frames
= 16 - 12
= $4

Number of picture frames delivered late
= 3 u 
= 3 x 8
= 24

Amount that Tommy's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of picture frames 
= 24 x 4
= $96

Answer(s): (a) 24; (b) $96
