Question
The text on the image is an exercise related to radioactive decay:

---

**XI. Solve. (Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.)**

18. The half-life of radioactive Mathium is 17.7 years. What percent of a present amount will remain after 18 years? (Use A = Ce^(kt))

---

In this question, you're asked to calculate the remaining amount of a radioactive substance after a specified period, given its half-life. The formula A = Ce^(kt) is used, where:
- A is the amount remaining,
- C is the initial amount,
- k is the decay constant,
- t is the time.

The handwritten note next to the word "C" seems to indicate a focus on the initial amount in the formula.

There are no graphs or additional diagrams included in the image.
