In a lab experiment, the decay of a radioactive isotope is being observed. At the beginning of the first day of the experiment the mass of the substance was 800 grams and mass was decreasing by 13% per day. Determine the mass of the radioactive sample at the beginning of the 12th day of the experiment. Round to the nearest tenth (if necessary).
