While gelato is sold by the cone or cup, the shop measures its activity in terms of the total number of liters of gelato sold. For example, wages should be $6,900 plus $2.70 per liter of gelato sold and the actual wages for June were $23,500. Via Gelato expected to sell 6,200 liters in June, but actually sold 6,400 liters.

Required:
