A formula uses 2400 g of a liquid ingredient with 20% solids. Replace it with another ingredient containing 80% of the same solids, keeping solids mass unchanged. The remainder of both ingredients is water. Adjust the formula's separate water quantity from 5000 g to preserve total water. Assume equivalent solids solely for this arithmetic exercise; functionality is not established. Calculate the replacement ingredient mass in grams. Keep intermediate values unrounded; round the final answer to 4 decimal places if needed.
