In order to stay awake during class, a professor keeps a 200 ounce capacity coffee maker in his office that contains 40 ounces of coffee containing 500 mg of caffeine. After developing a tolerance to such a small amount of caffeine, he begins to brew espresso containing 60 mg of caffeine per ounce at a rate 20 ounces per hour. If he consumes the coffee espresso mixture at a rate of 10 ounces per hour, then determine the amount of caffeine in the coffee mixture when the coffee maker contains 300 ounces
