Default ASM 3L 10th ed Practice Exam 4 #3

Q: Prob of milk carton on the shelf is purchased on any day is 20%.
Milk cartons are discarded after 7 days.

Determine the avg number of full days a purchased milk carton is on the shelf.

I didn't fully follow the answer.

[ (sum from 1 to 7 of .8^k) - 7(.8^.7) ] / (1-0.8^7)

I went with summing (1)(.8)(.2) + 2(.8^2)(.2) + ....
not sure why my answer didn't turn out.
