Liam's freight forwarding company charges $18 for wine bottles delivered on time and $13 for wine bottles delivered late. In the month of February, Liam's freight forwarding company collected $2780. For every 16 wine bottles delivered, 14 were delivered on time and 2 were delivered late.

1. What was the total number of wine bottles delivered late?
2. How much less money did Liam's freight forwarding company collect in February due to the late deliveries of the wine bottles?

	On time	Late	Total
Number	14 u	2 u
Value	18	13
Total Value	252 u	26 u	278 u

(a)
Total amount collected in February
= 252 u + 26 u
= 278 u

278 u = 2780

1 u = 2780 ÷ 278 = 10

Total number of wine bottles delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 10
= 20

(b)
Amount that Liam's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of wine bottles
= 18 - 13
= $5

Number of wine bottles delivered late
= 2 u 
= 2 x 10
= 20

Amount that Liam's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of wine bottles 
= 20 x 5
= $100

Answer(s): (a) 20; (b) $100
