Neave's freight forwarding company charges $18 for every crystal bowl delivered on time and $14 for every crystal bowl delivered late. In the month of October, Neave's freight forwarding company collected $2064. For every 20 crystal bowls delivered, 16 were delivered on time and 4 were delivered late.

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

	On time	Late	Total
Number	16 u	4 u
Value	18	14
Total Value	288 u	56 u	344 u

(a)
Total amount collected in October
= 288 u + 56 u
= 344 u

344 u = 2064

1 u = 2064 ÷ 344 = 6

Total number of crystal bowls delivered on time
= 16 u
= 16 x 6
= 96

(b)
Amount that Neave's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 18 - 14
= $4

Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 4 u 
= 4 x 6
= 24

Amount that Neave's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls 
= 24 x 4
= $96

Answer(s): (a) 96; (b) $96
