### Iodine-131 Decay Information

The amount of iodine-131 remaining in a sample that originally contained \( A \) grams is approximately given by the formula:

\[ C(t) = A(0.9175)^t \]

where \( t \) is time in days.

#### Calculations to Determine Remaining Percentage

(a) Find, to the nearest whole number, the percentage of iodine-131 left in an originally pure sample after:

- **2 days**: [Input Box] %
- **4 days**: [Input Box] %
- **6 days**: [Input Box] %

#### Half-Life Estimation using Graph

(b) Use a graph to estimate, to the nearest day, when one half of a sample of 100 grams will have decayed:

- [Input Box] days

Note: The graph, although not shown here, should plot the remaining amount \( C(t) \) over time \( t \) to visually approximate the half-life.
