A 100-gal tank initially contains 25 gal of 50% salt solution. Fresh water is then poured into the tank at the rate of 4 gal/min, while the well-stirred mixture leaves the tank at the rate of 2 gal/min. Find (a) the amount of time required for overflow to occur and (b) the percentage of salt in the tank at the moment of overflow.
