4. (4 marks) Waste mixture from a mine contains 17% pollutants. In order for the waste to have long term stability when buried, the maximum level of pollutants must be less than 4%. To achieve this, a mixture of a pollutant level of 1.2% will be added to the waste. The combined mixture will be filled into a diused quarry,which can take a maximum of 1 million tonnes of material.

What is the maximum tonnage of waste mixture that can be disposed of from the mine?
