+118680 Consider Bob first
Every year that his first $100 is invested he gets a flat $10 interest
Every year that the second deposit of $200 is invested he gets a flat $20 interest (plus the $10 that he is getting for he first $100
So this is how much he will have at then end of each year up to 10years
$110, $120, $130, $140, $150
$350, $380, $410, $440, $470, $500
So after 10 years Bob has $500
Now think about Judy
n must be equal to 1,2,3,4, or 5 because otherwise 2n is more than 10 which is no good.
If n=1 then the first 100 dollars is invested for (10-1) years It will will accumulate to 100*1.08^9
the 200 is invested for (10-2) years. It will will accumulate to 200*1.08^8
Together these add up to $570. Bob only gets $500 so this is too much.
Try n=2 and see if it works.
When you get the correct n, the amount might not be exactly $500 bit it will be close.
