After 6 days, what percentage of the isotope sample is left? How much of the original sample would be left after 6 half-lives? Using the isotope from the graph, determine how long it would take a sample of 600 g to decay to 75 g. If scientists determined a 4 g sample of this isotope was 20 days old, how much was in the original amount?
