2. Initially, 22.73 kg. of salt is dissolved in a large tank holding 300 gallons of water. A brine solution is pumped into the tank at a rate of 3 gallons per minute and well-stirred solution is then pumped out at the same rate. If the concentration of the solution entering is 1/10 pounds per gallon, determine the amount of salt in the tank at the end of 1 and a half hour.
