question 113

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-In the formula $\mathrm { A } =$ Iekt, $\mathrm { A }$ is the amount of radioactive material remaining from an initial amount I at a given time $t$ and $\mathrm { k }$ is a negative constant determined by the nature of the material. An artifact is discovered at a certain site. If it has $54 \%$ of the carbon-14 it originally contained, what is the approximate age of the artifact? (carbon-14 decays at the rate of $0.0125 \%$ annually.) (Round to the nearest year.)
