We need to find what percentage represents the number of Hershey's Cookie Crème Candy Bars in each package, and then compare which one is better.

For package A.

It has 13 Hershey's Cookie Crème Candy Bars out of 25. To find which percentage is 13 out of 25 we do the following:

• Divide 100 by the total amount of candy 25, and multiply the result by 13:

\frac{100}{25}\times13

we get the following percentage:

\frac{100}{25}\times13=4\times13=52

Package A has 52% of Hershey's Cookie Crème Candy Bars.

For package B.

It has 11 Hershey's Cookie Crème Candy Bars out of 20. we do the same as before to find the percentage, only that this time, instead of dividing by 25, we divide 100 by 20, and intead of multiplying by 12, we multiply by 11:

\frac{100}{20}\times11

The result is:

\frac{100}{20}\times11=5\times11=55

Package B has 55% of Hershey's Cookie Crème Candy Bars.

Which package should Alladin buy? He should buy Package B because it has a greater percentage.

Using an exponential function, it is found that the Tequesta settlement is 1845 years old.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

The exponential equation for a decaying amount of a substance is given by:

A(t) = A(0)e^{-rt}

In which:

  • A(0) is the initial value.
  • r is the decay rate, as a decimal.

Researching on the internet, the half-life of carbon 14 is of 5,730 years, hence A(5730) = 0.5A(0), which we use to find r.

A(t) = A(0)e^{-rt}

0.5A(0) = A(0)e^{-5730r}

e^{-5730r} = 0.5

\ln{e^{-5730r}} = \ln{0.5}

5730r = -\ln{0.5}

r = -\frac{\ln{0.5}}{5730}

r = 0.00012096809

Hence, the equation is:

A(t) = A(0)e^{-0.00012096809t}

The wood chips were found to contain 80% of the atmospheric carbon-14, hence we have to find t for which A(t) = 0.8A(0).

A(t) = A(0)e^{-0.00012096809t}

0.8A(0) = A(0)e^{-0.00012096809t}

e^{-0.00012096809t} = 0.8

\ln{e^{-0.00012096809t}} = \ln{0.8}

-0.00012096809t = \ln{0.8}

t = -\frac{\ln{0.8}}{0.00012096809}

t = 1845
