A fossilized leaf contains 29% of it's normal amount of carbon 14. How old is the fossil (to the nearest year)? Use 5600 years as the half-life of carbon 14.
I'm usually pretty good at decay problems but this problem seems to be missing some info.
Can anyone please just give me a small bump in the right direction? I know the decay formula well, im just having a hard time geting this going.
