Owen's freight forwarding company charges $16 for every mirror delivered on time and $12 for every mirror delivered late. In the month of August, Owen's freight forwarding company collected $2128. For every 20 mirrors delivered, 16 were delivered on time and 4 were delivered late.

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

	On time	Late	Total
Number	16 u	4 u
Value	16	12
Total Value	256 u	48 u	304 u

(a)
Total amount collected in August
= 256 u + 48 u
= 304 u

304 u = 2128

1 u = 2128 ÷ 304 = 7

Total number of mirrors delivered on time
= 16 u
= 16 x 7
= 112

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

Number of mirrors delivered late
= 4 u 
= 4 x 7
= 28

Amount that Owen's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of mirrors 
= 28 x 4
= $112

Answer(s): (a) 112; (b) $112
