Answer with explanation:

Decay Formula is given by:

       f(x)=I_{0}(1+\frac{R}{100})^t

I_{0}=\text{Initial Amount of radioactive isotope }

R=Rate at which radioactive isotope is decaying.

t=Time Constant

Now, Coming to the Question ,

The Rate at which  radioactive isotope is decaying is given by the formula:

 f(x)=346\times[\frac{1}{2}]^x \\\\f(1)=346 \times \frac{1}{2}\\\\f(1)=173\\\\f(0)=346\times[\frac{1}{2}]^0\\\\f(0)=346 \times 1=346

⇒346= Initial Amount of Radioactive Isotope
