A tank contains 200 liters of brine with 20 kg of salt in solution. Brine containing 0.25 kg per liter of salt flows into the tank at the rate of 3 liters/minute, and the mixture, kept uniform by stirring, flows out at the rate of 2 liters/minute. Determine the time when the concentration of salt becomes 0.15kg/liter.
