How many gallons of water must be added to a 100 ft x 50 ft country club pool that has an average depth of 7 feet and is four inches too low on Monday morning?

  1. 11,500 gallons

  2. 12,495 gallons

  3. 13,000 gallons

  4. 14,000 gallons

The correct answer is: 12,495 gallons

Adding 12,495 gallons of water is the correct answer because the other options do not accurately calculate the volume of the pool. Option A does not take into account the average depth of the pool and only considers the surface area, resulting in a significantly lower amount of water needed. Option C and D both overestimate the amount of water needed by assuming the pool is completely filled to the brim. In reality, the pool is only four inches too low, so adding an extra 12,495 gallons is the most accurate and efficient amount to reach the correct water level.
