I think that equation is supposed to look like this:
The reason I say that is because this is an exponential decay problem, with a starting amount of 50 pieces of candy.
If that's the case, then it would look like this with a t value of 5:
and
so the amount of candy left after 5 minutes is 16.384 or 16
