A swimming pool holds 12,500 gallons of water at the start of the day. A valve at the bottom of the pool releases water into a cleaning tank at a constant rate of 20 gallons per hour. A hose is running water into the pool at a constant rate of 60 gallons per hour. On one day, the hose was running for 3 hours, and the valve was left open for 6 hours. How much water is in the pool at the end of the day?

starting with 12,500 gallons, if the hose was running for three hours, 180 gallons would have been added to the pool. 12,500+180=12,680. if the valve was open for six hours, (20x6=120) 120 gallons would have been lost. 12,680-120=12,560. 12,560 gallons of water are in the pool at the end of the day.
