A 500-gallon tank originally contains 100 gallons of fresh water. Beginning at time t = 0, water containing industrial waste is pumped into the tank at the rate of 2 gal/min, and the well-stirred mixture leaves at the rate of 1 gal/min. Find the concentration of industrial waste in the tank at the moment it overflows.
