If it isn't too difficult to type out in this venue, would you please post the math for that? I suspect it would be very interesting. Thanks.
The math is a little more than I would want to type out, but I did a search this morning and found the following web page: Black Hole Evaporation. Basically you assume the black hole is a ...ahem... a black body radiator at the Hawking temperature. This gives the rate that energy/mass is radiated. Solve for the time differential and integrate to get total time.

If you want more math, the try here. This is a graduate level introduction, i.e., a good working knowledge of general relativity and quantum mechanics is assumed.
