A 50-gallon barrel is filled completely with pure water and then salt water with a concentration of 0.3 lb/gal is pumped into the barrel. The resulting mixture overflows at the same rate. The amount of salt in the barrel is modeled by Q(t)= 15(1-e-0.04t) Where t is measured in minutes and Q(t) is measured in pounds. How much salt is in the barrel at t=0?
