Answer:

  p(t) = 100%·2^(-t/1.32)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for exponential decay is ...

  (remaining amount) = (initial amount)·2^(-t/(half-life))

Here, we can represent the percentage remaining by p(t) and the initial amount by 100%. Then, for a half-life of 1.32 minutes, the amount remaining is ...

  p(t) = 100%·2^(-t/1.32) . . . . . where t is in minutes

_____

Alternate functional forms are possible, such as ...

  p(t) = 100%·e^(-0.525112t)

  p(t) = 100%·0.591489^t
