Sulfacetamide Sodium 10% w/w

Prednisolone Acetate 0.2%

w/w Phenylmercuric Acetate 0.0008%

w/w Mineral Oil 1%

w/w White Petrolatum, qs ad 3.5 g

How much of each ingredient would be needed to manufacture 2000 such tubes of ointment?

The answers from the book are

700 g sulfacetamide sodium

14 g prednisolone acetate

56 mg phenyl mercuric acetate

Will you please, show me the steps for the calculation? Thank you!
