The math of "The Martian" Sol 16

Mark needs to add water to the Martian soil before he can add bacteria to it. Because the Hab has a water reclaimer each person only needs 50 liters of water to survive indefinitely. Given that, how much water did NASA send with them for the mission? If soil needs 40 Liters of water per Cubic meter, how much water will he need, including 50 liters for himself?
