    X = $374.16

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First we have to calculate for the amount of interest using compound interest formula

    A = P (1 + (r/n)) ^ (nt)

    P (principal) = 1000

    r (rate) = 10% = 0.1

    t (time in year) = 30

    n (number of recursion per year) = 1

    A = 1000 (1 + (0.1/1)) ^ (1*30) = 17,449.40

    Amount of compound interest for 30 years is

    I = A - P = 17,449.40 - 1000 = 16,449.40

    Amount of interest due per year

    = I/30

    = 16,449.40/30 = 548.313

    The guy paid the same amount of interest due for the first 10 years

    548.313*10 = 5483.13

    And the next 10 payments equal to 150% of the interest due (150% = 1.5 times)

    548.313*10*1.5 = 8224.7

    Total of paid interest is

    8224.7 + 5483.13 = 13707.83

    So, the balance unpaid loan is

    17449.40 - 13707.83 = 3741.57

    This balance payment is dividend for the last 10 years, so

    3741.57/10 = 374.16

    So X = $374.16
