A 100 mg sample of magnesium-27 decays by 7% of its previous mass every minute. Determine its half-life and start the half-life decay equation.
The textbook that I got this from (Nelson Physics 11) tells me the answer, but uses a long and annoying process to find it: creating a table at different points in time and then graphing. I am just wondering if there is an equation or some sort of trick to this type of question? It would save me a lot of time and trouble, thank you in advance.
