Answer:

360x

Explanation:

Given

Savings: x dollars, monthly

Duration: 30 years

Required

His savings after 30 years

To get his savings after 30 years,

  • First we need to get his savings in a year.
  • Then we multiply this result by 30

The reason why we need to get his yearly savings is because his savings was given on a monthly basis.

There are 12 months in a year;

Hence, his savings in a year is 12 * x

Savings = 12x in a year.

If his savings in a year is 12x dollas

His savings in 30 years will be

30 * 12x dollars

30 * 12x = 360x dollars

Hence, his savings after 30years is 360x
