Three types of grains are used to make a grain mixture: wet oats (20% moisture by mass), wet corn (25% moisture), and wet barley (35% moisture). Wet corn is 2/3 of this mixture by mass. The mixture is put in a dryer to remove excess moisture. The mass of water removed from the dryer is 35 kg, the mass of the output mixture is 485 kg (18% moisture). Determine the amounts (in kg) of wet corn, and wet barley used to make the original mixture if it is known that there was 166.89 kg of wet oats in the original mixture. Also, determine the percentages of dry oats (0% moisture), dry corn (0% moisture), and dry barley (%0 moisture) in the output mixture.

Question

Three types of grains are used to make a grain mixture: wet oats (20% moisture by mass), 
wet corn (25% moisture), and wet barley (35% moisture). Wet corn is 2/3 of this mixture by 
mass. The mixture is put in a dryer to remove excess moisture. The mass of water removed 
from the dryer is 35 kg, the mass of the output mixture is 485 kg (18% moisture). Determine 
the amounts (in kg) of wet corn, and wet barley used to make the original mixture if it is known that there was 166.89 kg of wet oats in the original mixture. Also, determine the percentages of dry oats (0% moisture), dry corn (0% moisture), and dry 
barley (%0 moisture) in the output mixture.
