Vinegar 250 gal. 2.30 per gal.
Corn syrup 22 gal. 8.20 per gal.
Salt 100 lbs. 2.10 per lb.

The actual materials in a batch may vary from the standard due to tomato characteristics. Assume that the actual quantities of materials for batch 08-99 were as follows:

4,700 lbs. of tomatoes
240 gal. of vinegar
