where,
k = rate constant
t = age of sample
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100
a - x = amount left after decay process =
a) for completion of half life:
Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.
b) for 15.5 % of original amount
Thus age of the tool is 15539 years
