1. Consider two tanks \( x \) and \( y \). Suppose that \(\operatorname{tank} x \) contains 100 gallons of brine in which 100 pounds of salt are dissolved, while tank \( y \) contains 100 gallons of water. Water flows into \(\operatorname{tank} x \) at the rate of 3 gallons per minute, and the mixture flows from \( x \) into \( y \) at the rate of 4 gallons per minute. From \( y \), one gallon per minute is pumped back to \( x \), while 3 gallons per minute are removed from the system (see figure below). Find the maximum amount of salt in tank \( y \).
