Answer:
+(
×
)
Step-by-step explanation:
k is the number of pencils jerry has, and x is the number of pencils darcy and leonard gave him EACH. So you need to multiply 'x' x2 to get the total ammount of pencils they gave him, then add 'k' to know how much in total he has now.

If Jerry contributes at the beginning of the month and withdraws at the end of the month, the final contribution earns 1 month's interest. The one before that earns 2 months' interest, so has a value of (1+0.017/12) times that of the last payment. In short, the sum is that of a geometric sequence with first term
a₁ = 300*(1+0.017/12)
and common ratio
r = 1+0.017/12
We assume Jerry contributes each month for 15 years, so a total of 180 payments. The sum is given by the formula for the sum of a geometric sequence.
Filling in your numbers, this is
If Jerry's contributions and withdrawal are at the end of the month, this balance is reduced by 1 month's interest, so is $61,460.
_____
We suppose the expected choice is $61,960. This supposition comes from the fact that a handwritten 4 is often confused with a handwritten 9. The usual simple calculation of future value uses end-of-the-month contributions by default. (a₁ = 300)
a₁ = 300*(1+0.017/12)
