The constant 0.993 reveals that the quantity is decreasing exponentially at a rate of 99.3% every day.

The constant 0.993 in the function f(t) = 8100(0.993)^365 reveals the rate of change of the quantity.

In this case, the quantity is decreasing exponentially.

The constant 0.993 represents the base of the exponential function, which is less than 1.

This means that the quantity is decreasing at a rate of 0.993, or 99.3%, every day.
