Answer 1

Answer:

His total savings in 17 months = Rs 1000.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Amit saves certain amount every month in a specific way. In the first month he saves Rs 200, in the second month Rs 250, in the third month Rs 300 and so on.

We are represent this situation in an expression form i.e.;

    Savings(x) = 200 + 50*x  where, x = Number of Months - 1

Suppose we have to find the saving for first month so;

      Savings(1) = 200 + 50*(1 - 1) = 200 + 0 = Rs 200 which is also given in question which means our expression is correct.

So, savings in 17 months is given by;

      Savings(17) = 200 + 50*(17 - 1) = 200 + 800 = Rs 1000.
