Asher's freight forwarding company charges $20 for every crystal bowl delivered on time and $15 for every crystal bowl delivered late. In the month of July, Asher's freight forwarding company collected $980. For every 13 crystal bowls delivered, 10 were delivered on time and 3 were delivered late.

1. What was the total number of crystal bowls delivered on time?
2. How much less money did Asher's freight forwarding company collect in July due to the late deliveries of the crystal bowls?

	On time	Late	Total
Number	10 u	3 u
Value	20	15
Total Value	200 u	45 u	245 u

(a)
Total amount collected in July
= 200 u + 45 u
= 245 u

245 u = 980

1 u = 980 ÷ 245 = 4

Total number of crystal bowls delivered on time
= 10 u
= 10 x 4
= 40

(b)
Amount that Asher's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 20 - 15
= $5

Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 3 u 
= 3 x 4
= 12

Amount that Asher's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls 
= 12 x 5
= $60

Answer(s): (a) 40; (b) $60
