Answer:

y = 100 * (0.75)^{30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a =100 --- Initial Amount

r= 25\% every 10 years

Required

The remaining amount after 300 years

To do this, we make use of:

y = a(1 - r)^T

Where

r = decay rate

T = the period of decay

In 300 years, there are 30 periods of 10 years.

i.e.

T = \frac{300}{10}

T = 30

y = a(1 - r)^T

y = 100 * (1 - 25\%)^{30

y = 100 * (1 - 0.25)^{30

y = 100 * (0.75)^{30
