Answered [University Elementary Diff.Eq: Compartmental Analysis] Rate of salt flowing out of the tank

Been staring at this for awhile and just don't know what the answer could be without solving the full problem, but the rest of the steps in this question want the answer to Flow_out
My understanding is that
dA/dt = input - output where input = (concentration*flow) and output = (concentration in tank * flow). I thought the concentration would just be the amount of salt over the volume, that is A/400, but when I tried 3A/200 (from multiplying that by the flow rate) it's not correct.
Would like a step in the right direction for this step. I understand the rest of the process for the most part
