SOLUTION
We have been given the equation of the decay as

So we are looking for the time
Plugging the values into the equation, we have

Taking Ln of both sides, we have

Hence the answer is 4308 to the nearest year
Each bag contains 50 pattern blocks so 4 bags is
50 x 4 = 200 pattern blocks
hope this helps
It was $930.
To over check, multiply it by 20% , you will get $186.
Hope this helps !
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To simplify recall exponent rules:
1. An exponent is only a short cut for multiplication. It simplifies how we write the expression.
2. When we multiply terms with the same bases, we add exponents.
3. When we divide terms with the same bases, we subtract exponents.
4. When we have a base to the exponent of 0, it is 1.
5. A negative exponent creates a fraction.
6. When we raise an exponent to an exponent, we multiply exponents.
7. When we have exponents with parenthesis, we apply it to everything in the parenthesis.
We will use these rules to simplify.
Use rule #3 to simplify inside the parenthesis first.

Now simplify the exponent of 4 using rule 6.
