Owners of a recreation area are filling a small pond with water. They are adding water at a rate of 31 liters per minute. There are 300 liters in the pond to start. Let $W$ represent the total amount of water in the pond (in liters), and let $T$ represent the total number of minutes that water has been added. Write an equation relating $W$ to $T$. Then use this equation to find the total amount of water after 12 minutes. Equation: Total amount of water after 12 minutes: liters
