Mikey and his gang of friends find a map leading to a treasure owned by a pirate living in the 17th century. To authenticate the map, Mikey carbon-dates the map by measuring the amount of carbon-14 currently in the map relative to the amount originally present when the map was drawn and finds that 96% of the carbon-14 is still present. If the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years, how long ago was the map drawn up? Round to the nearest year. Does the age of the map support its authenticity?
Suppose a radioactive substance decays at a continuous rate of 6% per year. How long will it be until only 30% of the original amount remains? Round your answer in years to the nearest hundredth (i.e., two decimal places). Enter number only, e.g. if your answer is 25.69 years, enter 25.69.
