Question

A tumor in a rat responds to a new radiation treatment by shrinking 5% with each treatment. How many treatments before the tumor has shrunk to a quarter of its original size?

Answer 1

A quarter of its original size would be 25% of 100%, right? Therefore, the tumor would have to shrink 75%. If each treatment, the tumor shrinks 5% that would mean it takes 15 treatments to shrink 75 percent.
