The formula for calculating the quantity after n half lives is given by:
Here
N is the final amount
N_0 is the initial amount
n is the number of half lives passed
The number of half lives are calculated by dividing the time for which the remaining quantity has to be found by half life
The quantity has to be calculated for 240 days so,
Given
