Answer:
This is a radioactive decay / half-life problem.
Initial amount of C 14 = 100% Present Amount = 57%
k = .0001 (that value should be negative)
Nt = No * e^ (k*t)
You need to solve that equation for "time" (equation attached)
time = natural log (Ending amount / Starting Amount) / k
time = natural log (57% / 100%) / -.0001
time = ln (.57) / -.0001
time = -.56211891815 / -.0001
time = 5,621.2 years (age of the bird skeleton)
These problems are quite complicated but I think I know this pretty well.

Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage problems can be solved by rule of three
In a rule of three problem, the first step is identifying the measures and how they are related, if their relationship is direct of inverse.
When the relationship between the measures is direct, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure is going to increase too. In this case, the rule of three is a cross multiplication.
When the relationship between the measures is inverse, as the value of one measure increases, the value of the other measure will decrease. In this case, the rule of three is a line multiplication.
A percentage problem is an example where the relationship between the measures is direct.
The problem states that 1g is 5% of the daily value for saturated fat. The daily value(100%) for saturated fat is x, so:
1g - 5%
xg - 100%
5x = 100
x = 20g
The daily value for saturated fat is 20g.
