Half-life is the time needed for a radioactive to decay half of its weight. The formula to find the half-life would be:

Nt= N0 (1/2)^ t/h

Nt= the final mass
N0= the initial mass
t= time passed
h= half-life

If 25.0% of the compound decomposes that means the final mass would be 75% of initial mass. Then the half-live for the compound would be:
Nt= N0 (1/2)^ t/h
75%= 100% * (1/2)^ (60min/h)
3/4= 1/2^(60min/h)
log2 3/4 = log2 1/2^(60min/h)
0.41503749928 = -60min/h
h= -60 min / 0.41503749928= 144.6min

A bike lost 20% of its value after the first year, its value after the first year is $1039. Calculate the original price of the
musickatia [10]

Answer:

$1246.90

Explanation:

Since the bike lost 20%% of it's value and it now currently at $$1039, we have to do 20% * $1039 to find the amount of money lost. 20%*1039=207.8. We have to add it up to find the original value so 1039+207.8=$1246.8
