A 200 gallon tank initially contains 100 gallons of water with 20 pounds of salt. A salt solution with 1/4 pound of salt per gallon is added to the tank at 4 gal/min, and the resulting mixture is drained out at 2 gal/min. Find the quantity of salt in the tank as it's about to overflow.

A tank contains 500 gallons of water and 30 pounds of salt dissolved in it. Water enters the tank at the rate of 3 gal/min with concentration 4 lb/gal of salt in it. The well-mixed solution leaves the tank at the same rate 3 gal/min. Find the amount y(t) of salt in the tank at any time t.
