Leo distributed 540 energy bars on the first day. Jasper distributed a quantity equal to exactly 4/9 as many bars as Leo. Jasper had a remaining stock of bars that was 15% greater than the number of bars he just distributed. Leo had a remaining stock that was 2.25 times the size of Jasper’s remaining stock. Calculate the total number of energy bars Leo and Jasper had in their combined inventory before the tournament began. </SPAN>\n" );
