Lets solve this problem by a technique which we call unitary method.

So,
We have,

0.4 ~million ~accounts ~are ~added ~in~1~day. \\ \\ (4)/(10) ~million ~accounts ~are ~added ~in~1~day \\ \\ (4)/(10) * (10)/(4) ~million ~accounts ~are ~added ~in~1* (10)/(4)~day \\ \\ 1 ~million ~accounts ~are ~added ~in~ (10)/(4)~day \\ \\ 20 ~million ~accounts ~are ~added ~in~ (10)/(4)*20~day \\ \\ 20 ~million ~accounts ~are ~added ~in~ 50~days \\ \\
