To solve this we are going to use the half life equation

Where:

is the initial sample

is the time in years

is the half life of the substance

is the remainder quantity after

years
From the problem we know that:



Lets replace those values in our equation to find

:




We can conclude that after 1600 years of radioactive decay, the mass of the 100-gram sample will be
91.7 grams.
To answer this question, we have the start-up costs of $ 52,000
A monthly inflation of $ 0 is assumed
Operating costs are $680
The daily gain is $960
For the Part A.
The inequality that this situation represents

So:

Where d represents the number of days.
For the Part B.
To start earning, you must replace all the initial investment and cover the expenses per day. The time that must pass for this to happen is obtained by clearing "d" from the inequality.

d> 185.71 days
Then, the sum of the net profits will be greater than the initial investment after 186 days of starting the business.
m = t2.5
So money equals to tickets sold*2.5
2.5 is each tickets price
If you ask how I found;
$100 / 40 tickets = $2.5
