Question

Henry is taking a medicine for a common cold. The table below shows the amount of medicine f(t), in mg, that was present in Henry's body after time t:


t (hours) 1 2 3 4 5
f(t) (mg) 282 265.08 249.18 234.22 220.17


Greg was administered 200 mg of the same medicine. The amount of medicine in his body f(t) after time t is shown by the equation below:

f(t) = 200(0.88)t

Which statement best describes the rate at which Henry's and Greg's bodies eliminated the medicine?
