Radioactive radium has a half-life of approximately 1599 years. What percent of a given amount remains after 760 years? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Question

anonymous · Answer

Try$$x=x_0(\frac{ 1 }{ 2 })^{\frac{ t }{ T_{1/2} }}$$where x is the amount of remaining undecayed material,
x_0 is the initial amount of undecayed material,
t is the time, and
T_1/2 is the half life.
