The half-life of carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon, is 5,730 years.

a) Write an equation for , the percentage of carbon-14 remaining after years of radioactive decay.

b) What is the percent annual decay rate of carbon-14? Round to 4 decimal places.
percent

c) What is the continuous decay rate (as a percentage) of carbon-14? Round to 4 decimal places.
percent

d) In 2014, a tomb containing the alleged remains of Attila the Hun were discovered under the Danube river in Budapest, Hungary. At the time of discovery, tests showed that approximately 93 of the carbon-14 originally present in the body remained. If Attila died in 453 A.D., could these be the remains of Attila the Hun?
