Answer:

34 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

If the remaining sample has 30.26 grams of radioactive substance, and 11% of it decayed, that means that 30.26 grams is 89% of the original. Let the original be x.

30.26=0.89x

Multiply both by one hundred

3026=89x

Divide both by 89

34=x

x=original, so the original was 34 grams.
