MATH 6552: Week 5 Application Assignment Swimming Pool Repairs The swimming pool at the CRC will be closed for 2 months to make some necessary repairs. The CRC manager has asked you to help plan the project. You will need to estimate the cost of the repairs and determine the time it will take to refill the pool once the repairs are completed.

For this repair, the pool is drained of water and then a new coat of plaster is applied. The cost for replastering is based on the surface square footage of the interior of the pool. The cost is $250 per 200 square feet of surface to be replastered. Tiling The tile in the swimming pool needs to be replaced due to cracks and chipping. The old tile is removed (before replastering) and then one layer of new tile is positioned around the upper interior perimeter of the pool line (after replastering) with the water line at the bottom of the tile. The removal charge is $20 per linear foot. Each new 6-inch square tile costs $2. A pool professional installs the new tile for an additional $300 charge. After Repair Once the repairs have been made, the pool will be refilled so the plaster can cure underwater. How long will it take to refill the pool? Information to consider: - One cubic foot is approximately 7.5 gallons of water - A typical garden hose releases approximately 11 gallons of water per minute Write a brief report to the CRC manager to explain the estimated cost of repairing the pool and the approximate time it will take to refill the pool once the repairs are completed. Use mathematics to support your conclusions. 2013 Laureate Education, Inc. Page 1 of 1
