A clever girl figured out a great way to catch fish at the local fishing spot. The first day she went fishing, she caught exactly 31416 pounds of fish.
Even though she had more fish than she knew what to do with, she decided to go fishing again the next day. And she caught exactly 40% of what she caught the day before. Which was still a lot of fish.
She continued fishing every day. And every day she caught exactly 40% of what she caught the previous day.
If she continued fishing every day for twenty years, how many pounds of fish, total, would she catch? Please round to the nearest pound.
