What a deal! Just deShirts is having a 20% off sale. Trixie rushes to the store and buys 14 shirts. When the clerk rings up her

purchases, Trixie sees that the clerk has added the 5% sales tax first, before taking the discount. Trixie wonders whether adding the sales tax before the discount makes her final cost more than adding the sales tax after the discount. Without making any calculations, make a conjecture. Is Trixie getting charged more when the clerk adds sales tax first? The next few problems will help you figure it out for sure.
Does it matter if sales tax is added before the discount or after her final total? (Yes or no AND why or why not?)

Dinosaur fossils are often dated by using an element other than carbon, like potassium-40, that has a longer half life (in this
Firlakuza [10]
The amount of substance left of a radioactive element of half life, t_{\frac{1}{2}} after a time, t, is given by:

N(t)=N_0\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{t_{  \frac{1}{2} }}

Given that <span>potassium-40 has a half life of approximately 1.25 billion years.

The number of years it will take for 0.1% of potassium-40 to remain is obtained as follows:

0.1=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{1.25}} \\  \\ \Rightarrow\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{1.25}}=0.001 \\  \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{1.25}\ln\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)=\ln(0.001) \\  \\ \Rightarrow \frac{t}{1.25}= \frac{\ln(0.001)}{\ln\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)} =9.966 \\  \\ t=9.966(1.25)=12.5

Therefore, </span><span>the maximum age of a fossil that we could date using 40k is 12.5 billion years.</span>

the half life of polonium is 139 days. you have a brand new sample of polonium that will not be useful to you after 80% of the m
melamori03 [73]

The half-life of Po is 139 days, so its decay rate is

0.5 = e^(139k)  ==>  k = ln(0.5)/139

After some time t, 80% of the material will have decayed and you'll be left with a sample 20% of its original mass:

0.2 = e^(kt)  ==>  t = ln(0.2)/k = ln(0.2)/ln(0.5) * 139 = 322.748

so your sample is usable for about 323 days.
