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 oats, wet corn, and wet barley used to make 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 oats, wet corn, and wet barley used to make 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.
