Peter's freight forwarding company charges $13 for crystal bowls delivered on time and $11 for crystal bowls delivered late. In the month of December, Peter's freight forwarding company collected $1776. For every 12 crystal bowls delivered, 8 were delivered on time and 4 were delivered late.

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

	On time	Late	Total
Number	8 u	4 u
Value	13	11
Total Value	104 u	44 u	148 u

(a)
Total amount collected in December
= 104 u + 44 u
= 148 u

148 u = 1776

1 u = 1776 ÷ 148 = 12

Total number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 4 u
= 4 x 12
= 48

(b)
Amount that Peter's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of crystal bowls
= 13 - 11
= $2

Number of crystal bowls delivered late
= 4 u 
= 4 x 12
= 48

Amount that Peter's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of crystal bowls 
= 48 x 2
= $96

Answer(s): (a) 48; (b) $96
