Hello, I am using the 6th edition of the Manhattan Prep books and i came across a sample problem that I am not understanding where they got the the numbers from. The problem is on page 135-136 of Book 9 (Integrated Reasoning and essay). I don't understand how they got to 1,680 total years based off of the diagram and was wondering what I may be doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its not a question per se more like a diagram. i have attached a copy of it here as a pdf. I don't understand how they got the 1680 as the total amount of years. The way i was setting up the problem was as follows:
0 years-10 students-
1 year -30 students=total 30 years between them
2 years-100 years=total 200 years between them
etc.
If I am doing that correctly I don't understand where they get the full 1680 from or if it was some ambiguous number they came up with. any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
