Ivan's freight forwarding company charges $20 for wine bottles delivered on time and $17 for wine bottles delivered late. In the month of August, Ivan's freight forwarding company collected $1256. For every 16 wine bottles delivered, 14 were delivered on time and 2 were delivered late.

1. What was the total number of wine bottles delivered late?
2. How much less money did Ivan's freight forwarding company collect in August due to the late deliveries of the wine bottles?

	On time	Late	Total
Number	14 u	2 u
Value	20	17
Total Value	280 u	34 u	314 u

(a)
Total amount collected in August
= 280 u + 34 u
= 314 u

314 u = 1256

1 u = 1256 ÷ 314 = 4

Total number of wine bottles delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 4
= 8

(b)
Amount that Ivan's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of wine bottles
= 20 - 17
= $3

Number of wine bottles delivered late
= 2 u 
= 2 x 4
= 8

Amount that Ivan's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of wine bottles 
= 8 x 3
= $24

Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) $24
