London Vincent · Answer 1

I'm not sure if this is the right answer, but here goes nothing. To find the amount of money you would make in one day, you have to multiply 1.10 times 1 penny (because you want to add. 10 AND the penny) then you multiply that by 365 for how much you make in a year which is 401.5 then multiply that by 35 years, and you get 14052.5. Sorry if that's wrong! Good luck!
