Alright, an easy way to think about it is to use a proportion. -.156=x/amount of caffeine. For example for the first one, you put in 100 and then you get 84.4. Basically you found the percentage of the amount of caffeine and subtracted it. You do that 4 times to get to 50, so that's 4 hours. Fir the second one, you do the same thing, and just keep going. You get 8 hours. Sorry it took so long, I was busy.
