Since we know that the concentration of salt in the tank remains constant at 0.3 pounds per gallon and the tank holds 250 gallons, we can calculate the total amount of salt in the tank by multiplying the concentration by the volume:

0.3 pounds/gallon x 250 gallons = 75 pounds

Therefore, there will be a total of 75 pounds of salt in the tank after a long period of time.
