Question 1201882: Please help me solve this word problem it is due tomorrow
An element decays at the rate of S(t) = se^-0.032t, where s is the initial amount in grams and t is the time in years since this initial amount was present. If you have a 87-gram piece of this element, how many grams will you have 5 years from now? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a gram.
