Need asap within 10 minuets my assignment is do !

a radioactive substance decays at a rate of 2% per day. if there are 50 grams of the
substance left after 34 days, how much was there at the beginning of the 34 days?
round to two decimal places.

I do not have expertise on this so I won't answer the exact problem but this sounds like exponential decay, where you have the decay rate. I know that the formula for exponential decay is: y = a(1 - r)^x

I'm sorry if this does not help much I don't have expertise on this. Sorry again.

its not b

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
