The Question:
A pirate crew at the end of the day split the booty collected. The first pirate got 100 gold pieces, and 1/6 of the remaining booty. The second one got 200 gold pieces, and 1/6 of the remaining booty. The third one got 300 gold pieces, and 1/6 of the remaining booty, etc. The last one only got what was left from the booty. At the end, every pirate had the same amount of gold pieces (from the booty). How many pirates were there, and how much booty was there in total?
