Answer these questions based on the pipeline diagram given:

The following sketch shows the pipelines carrying material from one location to another. Each location has a demand for material. The demand at B is 800, at C is 800, at D is 1400, and at E is 400. Each arrow indicates the direction of material flow through the pipeline. The flow from B to C is 600. The quantity of material flow is such that the demands at all these location are exactly met. The capacity of each pipeline is 2000.

The quantity moved from A to E is _____.
