ok

1.- 80450(0.12)= 90104 L

2.-90104(0.12) = 100916.48 L

3.- 100916.48(0.12) = 113026.5 L

4.-113026.5(0.12) = 126589.7 L

5.- 126589.7(0.12) = 141780.6 L

6.- 141780.6 L(0.12) = 158794.3 L

7.- 158794.3 L(0.12) = 177849.6 L

8.- 177849.6 L(0.12) = 199191.6 L

9.- 199191.6 L(0.12) = 223094.5 L

10.- 223094.5 L(0.12) = 249865.8 L

11.- 249865.8 L(0.12) = 279849.7 L

12.- 279849.7 L(0.12) = 313431.7 L

13.- 313431.7 L(0.12) = 351043.5 L

14.- 351043.5 L(0.12) = 393168.7 L

15.- 393168.7 L(0.12) = 440348.9 L

Result 440348.95 mL
