800 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20
= amount earned in 15 years
Notice that the column with 800's has 15 entries
The second column from the left has 14 20's
The third column has 13 20's
so the amount earned in 15 years is
15(800) +(14+13+12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1)20
= 15(800) +(105)20
= 12000 + 2100
= 14100

800+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+
800+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+ = 1120
800+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+
800+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+

800+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20+20
Notice that the column with 800's has 22 entries
The second column from the left has 21 20's
The third column has 20 20's
so the amount earned in 22 years is
22(800) +(21+20+19+18+17+16+15+14+13+12+11+10+9+8+7+6)20
Notice that years 18 through 22 are topped at 1120
= 22(800) +(216)20
= 17600 + 4320
= 21920 for 22 years
