You need a for loop, not an if statement. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/for.html
You need to declare two integer variables outside of your for loop. One to keep track of the total amount of money earned, and one to keep track of the amount you need to add next time. For example, the first time around, the "amount to add" will be 1, then 3, then 9, then 27.

Inside your for loop, you need to add the current "amount to add" to your total, then update the "amount to add" variable by multiplying it by three. Good luck.
