Word Problem on Volume

A tank, when completely filled, can hold 372 liters of water.  Water from a tap flows into the tank at a constant rate of 16 liters per minute.  There is a hole at the bottom of the tank and the water leaks out at a constant rate of 0.5 liter per minute.  How long does it take for the water to reach the brim of the tank?
