> What’s the confusion supposed to be? “Close enough?” If I had .999999 million dollars, I wouldn’t be a millionaire. I’d need another dollar. Sure, it’s only $1 away from an even million, but I wouldn’t have a whole million.

.99999999999999999999999999999999999999 **million dollars** equals what?

And what if You add a dollar to that? You’re OVER 1 million

the question is what does .99999 repeating equal
