Albert's freight forwarding company charges $16 for vases delivered on time and $12 for vases delivered late. In the month of June, Albert's freight forwarding company collected $2044. For every 19 vases delivered, 16 were delivered on time and 3 were delivered late.

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

	On time	Late	Total
Number	16 u	3 u
Value	16	12
Total Value	256 u	36 u	292 u

(a)
Total amount collected in June
= 256 u + 36 u
= 292 u

292 u = 2044

1 u = 2044 ÷ 292 = 7

Total number of vases delivered late
= 3 u
= 3 x 7
= 21

(b)
Amount that Albert's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of vases
= 16 - 12
= $4

Number of vases delivered late
= 3 u 
= 3 x 7
= 21

Amount that Albert's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of vases 
= 21 x 4
= $84

Answer(s): (a) 21; (b) $84
