Pierre's freight forwarding company charges $20 for wine bottles delivered on time and $18 for wine bottles delivered late. In the month of March, Pierre's freight forwarding company collected $3036. For every 14 wine bottles delivered, 12 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 Pierre's freight forwarding company collect in March due to the late deliveries of the wine bottles?

	On time	Late	Total
Number	12 u	2 u
Value	20	18
Total Value	240 u	36 u	276 u

(a)
Total amount collected in March
= 240 u + 36 u
= 276 u

276 u = 3036

1 u = 3036 ÷ 276 = 11

Total number of wine bottles delivered late
= 2 u
= 2 x 11
= 22

(b)
Amount that Pierre's freight forwarding company collected less from each late delivery of wine bottles
= 20 - 18
= $2

Number of wine bottles delivered late
= 2 u 
= 2 x 11
= 22

Amount that Pierre's freight forwarding company collected less from all the late deliveries of wine bottles 
= 22 x 2
= $44

Answer(s): (a) 22; (b) $44
