At the end of the summer, I decide to drain the swimming pool

(which has 1500 gallons of water in it). I noticed that it drains
faster when there is more water in the pool. That was interesting
to me, so I decided to measure the rate at which it drains. I found
that it was draining at a rate of 1% every minute.
How long will it take to empty the pool?
