Answer: 12 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = time it takes to fill the pool if the inlet pipe and drain pipe are both open
1/6 = portion of pool filled per hour by the inlet pipe
1/12 = portion of pool emptied per hour by the drain
1/x = portion of pool filled per hour if the inlet pipe and drain are both open
Then, 1/6 - 1/12 = 1/x
Multiply by the LCD, 12x, to obtain
2x - x = 12
x = 12 hours
He paid ...
-- The cost of the lunches (100% = 1.00 of it)
-- 15% of the cost as a tip (15% = 0.15 of it)
-- 12% of the cost as sales tax (12% = 0.12 of it)
Total that he paid = (1.00 + 0.15 + 0.12) = 1.27 of $248.40
= $315.47 .
