Brandon's freight forwarding company charges $16 for wine bottles delivered on time and $14 for wine bottles delivered late. In the month of October, Brandon's freight forwarding company collected $3552. For every 19 wine bottles delivered, 15 were delivered on time and 4 were delivered late.

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

	On time	Late	Total
Number	15 u	4 u
Value	16	14
Total Value	240 u	56 u	296 u

(a)
Total amount collected in October
= 240 u + 56 u
= 296 u

296 u = 3552

1 u = 3552 ÷ 296 = 12

Total number of wine bottles delivered late
= 4 u
= 4 x 12
= 48

(b)
Amount that Brandon's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of wine bottles
= 16 - 14
= $2

Number of wine bottles delivered late
= 4 u 
= 4 x 12
= 48

Amount that Brandon's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of wine bottles 
= 48 x 2
= $96

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