You invent a time machine which can travel to the past. For every 10 years it goes back, it consumes 100 Kg Plutonic energy. The Plutonic costs $10 per Kg. You only have $3000 in the bank so at most how far can you go back and return to the present?

Traveling back 10 years costs :    100kg x $10/kg = $1000

 

So :   

 

[$3000/ $1000]  x 10 years =   30 years back   [I'm assuming that it costs  nothing to go "forward" ]
