An agricultural cooperative must ship 6500 kg of potatoes. During transport by truck, 150 kg are damaged and therefore cannot be sold. The potatoes are distributed in 50 kg bags, each bag being sold for $72. What will the sale of the potatoes bring? Let's think step by step and output the final answer after "####".

There are 6500 kg – 150 kg = <<6500-150=6350>>6350 kg of sellable potatoes.
These will fit into 6350 kg / 50 kg/bag = <<6350/50=127>>127 bags
In total, these will be sold for 127 bags * $72/bag = $<<127*72=9144>>9144
