Step-by-step explanation:
P(t) = 12,000 (2)^(-t/15)
9,000 = 12,000 (2)^(-t/15)
0.75 = 2^(-t/15)
ln(0.75) = ln(2^(-t/15))
ln(0.75) = (-t/15) ln(2)
-15 ln(0.75) / ln(2) = t
t = 6.23
Answer:
59 patients
Step-by-step explanation:
Total patients Sam saw in a week = 236
Percentage of patients near-sighted = 25%
How many of the patients Sam saw were near-sighted?
Number of patients near-sighted = 25% of 236
= 25/100 × 236
= 0.25 × 236
= 59
Number of patients near-sighted = 59 patients
The number of patients Sam saw in a week that were near-sighted is 59 patients
