"a rise of a quarter from last year" means the percentage went up by 25%
x = old value
x + 25% of x = x + 0.25x = 1.25x = new value = 0.25 since "1 in 4" means 1/4 = 0.25
So,
1.25x = 0.25
x = 0.25/1.25
x = 0.2
x = 2/10
x = 1/5

The amount of the radioactive substance is 374.6 g
<h3>How to determine the amount of
radioactive substance?</h3>
The given parameters are:
- Initial, a = 424 mg
- Rate, r = 6%
- Time, t = 2 hours
The amount of the radioactive substance is calculated as:
A(t) = a(1 - r)^t
This gives
A(t) = 424 * (1 - 6%)^t
At 2 hours, we have:
A(2) = 424 * (1 - 6%)^2
Evaluate
A(2) = 374.6
Hence, the amount of the radioactive substance is 374.6 g
