Cody's freight forwarding company charges $19 for vases delivered on time and $15 for vases delivered late. In the month of August, Cody's freight forwarding company collected $3168. For every 16 vases delivered, 12 were delivered on time and 4 were delivered late.

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

	On time	Late	Total
Number	12 u	4 u
Value	19	15
Total Value	228 u	60 u	288 u

(a)
Total amount collected in August
= 228 u + 60 u
= 288 u

288 u = 3168

1 u = 3168 ÷ 288 = 11

Total number of vases delivered late
= 4 u
= 4 x 11
= 44

(b)
Amount that Cody's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of vases
= 19 - 15
= $4

Number of vases delivered late
= 4 u 
= 4 x 11
= 44

Amount that Cody's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of vases 
= 44 x 4
= $176

Answer(s): (a) 44; (b) $176
