A 130 gallon tank initially contains 15 lbs salt dissolved in 70 gallons of water. Brine containing 1 lb salt per gallon begins to flow into the tank at the rate of 3 gal/min and the well-mixed solution is drawn off at the rate of 1 gal/min. How much salt is in the tank when it is about to overflow? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
