This problem is asking us to make an algebraic equation or representation of the situation. First we have to assign the variables which is already given in the problem. H is the number of the home team and V is the visiting team. Since the problem states there are the home team has five times as manyfans as the visiting team, then it can be represented as:

H = 5V
Also, H + V = 52,000. H and V can then be solves by solving the 2 equations simultaneously. The results are 43,333 and 8,667.

SOLUTION

We have been given the equation of the decay as

$\begin{gathered} N=N_0e^{-kt} \\ where\text{ } \\ N_0=initial\text{ amount of C-14 at time t} \\ N=amount\text{ of C-14 at time t = 65\% of N}_0=0.65N_0 \\ k=0.0001 \\ t=time\text{ in years = ?} \end{gathered}$

So we are looking for the time

Plugging the values into the equation, we have
