Carl's freight forwarding company charges $19 for every vase delivered on time and $17 for every vase delivered late. In the month of August, Carl's freight forwarding company collected $880. For every 12 vases delivered, 8 were delivered on time and 4 were delivered late.

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

	On time	Late	Total
Number	8 u	4 u
Value	19	17
Total Value	152 u	68 u	220 u

(a)
Total amount collected in August
= 152 u + 68 u
= 220 u

220 u = 880

1 u = 880 ÷ 220 = 4

Total number of vases delivered on time
= 8 u
= 8 x 4
= 32

(b)
Amount that Carl's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of vases
= 19 - 17
= $2

Number of vases delivered late
= 4 u 
= 4 x 4
= 16

Amount that Carl's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of vases 
= 16 x 2
= $32

Answer(s): (a) 32; (b) $32
