Dan has $500. He invests that $500 into the stock market and in Week 1, he collects 10% of what he initially invested, closing the week at $550. Dan takes that $550 and invests it into the stock market on Week 2, collecting another 10%, giving him $605 at the end of Week 2. Dan takes the $605 entering Week 3, collects another 10% and closes Week 3 with a total of $665.50. If this pattern continues, how much would Dan have at the end of the year (52 weeks)?
