Hmm.  I seem to have forgotten how to do Recursive Functions.  Have you tried to "Mainstream" google this question?

I see quite a few results and at least two that might be able to help you.

Recursive refers to a function dependent on a previous value
$$f(t) = 5 f(t-1)$$
This for example is a function that equals 5 times its previous value.
For these functions, an initial value must be given.

Ok for this problem the initial value is 100 .... f(0) = 100
n books are given away each week, so there are n less books than previous week
$$f(t) = f(t-1) - n$$
