The mass of a substance, which follows a continous exponential growth model, is being studied in a lab. A sample increases continuously at a relative rate of 16% per day. Find the mass of the sample after six days if there were 64 grams of the substance present at the beginning of the study. Do not round any intermediate computations and round your answer to the nearest tenth.
