A tank initially contains 200 gallons of water in which 50 lbs of salt are dissolved. A salt solution containing 0.5 lb of salt per gallon is poured into the tank at a rate of 1 gal/min. The mixture in the tank is stirred and drained off at the rate of 2 gal/min. a) Find the amount of salt in the tank until the tank is empty. b) Find the concentration of salt in the tank until the tank is empty.

gal/min.
a) Find the amount of salt in the tank until the
tank is empty.
b) Find the concentration of salt in the tank until
the tank is empty.
