The recipe for your gummy candy makes 2,000 grams, and looks like this:
5 packages of gelatin - for the gummy texture.
2 cup citric acid - for flavor
4 cup corn syrup - for flavor
2 cup of water
OR
5 Gel + 2 Ca + 4 Cs + 2Cw → 2000 Gu
The store manager that is responsible for ordering ingredients is taking a few weeks off for vacation now that they are vaccinated and coronavirus related restrictions are rolling back (hurray!). They want to know if they need to order more ingredients before they leave.
The current stock of supplies is:
32 packets of gelatin
64 cups of citric acid (4 gallons)
24,000Gu*2Ca2000Gu
64 cups of corn syrup (4 gallons)
The Problem:
The manager is going to be leaving for 2 weeks(12 work days), so you will need to make 24,000 grams of gummies while they are gone. How many of each ingredient does the manager need to order before they leave?
