S=40+20+10+\cdots+0.078125
S=40\left(1+\dfrac12+\dfrac14+\cdots+\dfrac1{512}\right)
S=40\left(1+2^{-1}+2^{-2}+\cdots+2^{-9}\right)

2^{-1}S=40\left(2^{-1}+2^{-2}+2^{-3}+\cdots+2^{-10}\right)

\implies S-2^{-1}S=40\left(1-2^{-10}\right)
\implies\dfrac12S=40\left(1-\dfrac1{1024}\right)
\implies S=80\left(1-\dfrac1{1024}\right)=\dfrac{5115}{64}=79.921875
