Answer

$10$

Work Step by Step

THEOREM: Convergence of an Infinite Geometric Series If $|r| \lt 1,$ the infinite geometric series $\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}a_{1}r^{k-1}$ converges. Its sum is $\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}a_{1}r^{k-1}=\frac{a_{1}}{1-r}$ --- Since $r=0.90$, the infinite geometric series converges. $S=\displaystyle \frac{1}{1-0.90}=10$
