Yes I know this is oniony and that's why it's hilarious and I wanted to do the math anyway. My math says that if she hadn't won £400,000 in the lottery, it would've taken her 282 years to save up £400,000 at the rate of saving £1300 every 11 months. Someone please check my math because I am an average C student. How was my math?

If she saves £1,300 every eleven months, how long would it take her to save up £400,000?
