In order to sole the problem you need to create an equation to model what you are trying to do.
You end up with an equation looking like
25000*0.95^t
25000 is the starting value when t=0
95% is the amount remaining after the 5% decay
0.95 is being raised to the power of t to determine how many times it has decayed
When t=3 the equation should be
25000*0.95^3=21434.375
Answer:
"1.03 yards per square foot"
Step-by-step explanation:
5.15 yd 1.03 yd
----------- becomes ------------- , or "1.03 yards per square foot." That's a unit
5 ft^2 ft^2 rate.

The question might have some mistake since there are 2 multiplier of t. I found a similar question as follows:
The population P(t) of a culture of bacteria is given by P(t) = –1710t^2+ 92,000t + 10,000, where t is the time in hours since the culture was started. Determine the time at which the population is at a maximum. Round to the nearest hour.
Answer:
27 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of population P(t) = –1710t^2+ 92,000t + 10,000
Find the derivative of the function to find the critical value
dP/dt = -2(1710)t + 92000
= -3420t + 92000
Find the critical value by equating dP/dt = 0
-3420t + 92000 = 0
92000 = 3420t
t = 92000/3420 = 26.90
Check if it really have max value through 2nd derivative
d(dP)/dt^2 = -3420
2nd derivative is negative, hence it has maximum value
So, the time when it is maximum is 26.9 or 27 hours
