Xavier's freight forwarding company charges $15 for vases delivered on time and $11 for vases delivered late. In the month of May, Xavier's freight forwarding company collected $1212. For every 14 vases delivered, 12 were delivered on time and 2 were delivered late.

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

	On time	Late	Total
Number	12 u	2 u
Value	15	11
Total Value	180 u	22 u	202 u

(a)
Total amount collected in May
= 180 u + 22 u
= 202 u

202 u = 1212

1 u = 1212 ÷ 202 = 6

Total number of vases delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 6
= 12

(b)
Amount that Xavier's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of vases
= 15 - 11
= $4

Number of vases delivered late
= 2 u 
= 2 x 6
= 12

Amount that Xavier's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of vases 
= 12 x 4
= $48

Answer(s): (a) 12; (b) $48
