Zeph's freight forwarding company charges $19 for picture frames delivered on time and $17 for picture frames delivered late. In the month of October, Zeph's freight forwarding company collected $1458. For every 13 picture frames delivered, 11 were delivered on time and 2 were delivered late.

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

	On time	Late	Total
Number	11 u	2 u
Value	19	17
Total Value	209 u	34 u	243 u

(a)
Total amount collected in October
= 209 u + 34 u
= 243 u

243 u = 1458

1 u = 1458 ÷ 243 = 6

Total number of picture frames delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 6
= 12

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

Number of picture frames delivered late
= 2 u 
= 2 x 6
= 12

Amount that Zeph's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of picture frames 
= 12 x 2
= $24

Answer(s): (a) 12; (b) $24
