Ryan's freight forwarding company charges $17 for crystal bowls delivered on time and $13 for crystal bowls delivered late. In the month of November, Ryan's freight forwarding company collected $2493. For every 17 crystal bowls delivered, 14 were delivered on time and 3 were delivered late.

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

	On time	Late	Total
Number	14 u	3 u
Value	17	13
Total Value	238 u	39 u	277 u

(a)
Total amount collected in November
= 238 u + 39 u
= 277 u

277 u = 2493

1 u = 2493 ÷ 277 = 9

Total number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 9
= 27

(b)
Amount that Ryan's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 17 - 13
= $4

Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 3 u 
= 3 x 9
= 27

Amount that Ryan's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls 
= 27 x 4
= $108

Answer(s): (a) 27; (b) $108
