A tank contains 50 kg of salt and 1000 L of water. A solution of a concentration 0.025 kg of salt per liter enters a tank at the rate 10 L/min. The solution is mixed and drains from the tank at the same rate. (a) What is the concentration of our solution in the tank initially?

A tank containing 10 kilograms of salt dissolved in 1000 liters of water has two salt solutions pumped in. The first solution of 0.2 kg salt/liter is pumped in at a rate of 20 L/min. And the second solution of 0.05 kg salt/L is pumped in at a rate of 5 L/min. The tank drains at 25 L/min. Assume the tank is well mixed. Find how much salt is in the tank I hours after the process begins.

A tank contains 11,000 L of brine with 25 kg of dissolved salt. Pure water enters the tank at a rate of 110 L/min. The solution is kept thoroughly mixed and drains from the tank at the same rate. How much salt is in the tank after t minutes?
