Question 367819: Suppose a balloon is filled with 5000 cm^3 of helium. It then loses one-fourth of it helium per day. How much helium would be left after 9 days? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Each day it has 3/4 of its gas remaining.
For 9 days, = 5000*(3/4)^9 = 5000*19683/262144
=~ 375.42 cc (=~ 7.5%)
