You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a financial deal, you are promised $900 the first day and each day after that you will receive 55% of the previous day's amount. When one day's amount drops below $1, you stop getting paid from that day on. What day is the first day you would receive no payment and what is your total income?
-------
1st day:: 900
2nd day:: 900*0.55
3rd day:: 900*0.55^2
------
nth day:: 900*0.55^(n-1)
------
Solve 900*0.55^(n-1) < 1 for "n".
