Valen's freight forwarding company charges $12 for mirrors delivered on time and $9 for mirrors delivered late. In the month of April, Valen's freight forwarding company collected $1950. For every 17 mirrors delivered, 14 were delivered on time and 3 were delivered late.

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

	On time	Late	Total
Number	14 u	3 u
Value	12	9
Total Value	168 u	27 u	195 u

(a)
Total amount collected in April
= 168 u + 27 u
= 195 u

195 u = 1950

1 u = 1950 ÷ 195 = 10

Total number of mirrors delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 10
= 30

(b)
Amount that Valen's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of mirrors
= 12 - 9
= $3

Number of mirrors delivered late
= 3 u 
= 3 x 10
= 30

Amount that Valen's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of mirrors 
= 30 x 3
= $90

Answer(s): (a) 30; (b) $90
