Question

An adult takes 400 mg of vitamin C. Each hour, the amount of vitamin C in the person's system decreases by about 29%. Estimated to the nearest hundredth, how many mg of vitamin C are left in the system after 6 hours?

Answer 1

the number of mg of vitamin C would be left after 6 hours in the system is 51.24 mg

Explanation:

The computation of the number of mg of vitamin C would be left after 6 hours in the system is shown below;

= Mg taken × (1 - decreased percentage)^times

= 400 mg × (1 - 0.29)^6

= 51.24 mg

Hence, the number of mg of vitamin C would be left after 6 hours in the system is 51.24 mg

Therefore the same is to be considered
