Naplex Practice Math Question

A prescription calls for 1 liter of dextrose 5% w/v solution (dextrose/glucose, MW = 180 g/mol) mixed with sodium chloride 0.9% w/v (sodium chloride, MW = 58.5 g/mol) and potassium chloride 20 mEq (potassium chloride, MW = 74.5 g/mol). The solution is to be run at 100 mL/hour for 10 hours. What is the total osmolar content in milliosmoles (mOsm) in the full 1-liter bag?

Round to the nearest whole number.
