A tank has a total capacity of 100 L, but initially it contains 15 L of pure water. Water flows into the tank 8 L per minute and contains 2 kg of salt. The solution in the tank is being mixed well. If the well-mixed solution in the tank exits 7 L per minute, determine the amount of salt (kilograms) in the solution just before the tank overflows.
