7 0

17,190 / 5,730 = 3. This means we must divide 70mg in half 3 times

70 / 2 = 35

35 / 2 = 17.5

17.5 / 2 = 8.75

There will be 8.75 mg left after 17,190 years.

I was doing it wrong. You have to find 30% of $86 which is $25.80, i think, and then take it away from $86 and so the sales price is $86 - $25.80 = $60.20. Originally I only did the first bit, I forgot you have to take it away. sorry hope this helps more now.
