Problem

A freshly prepared sample of a radioisotope of half-life 1386 s1386\,\mathrm{s} has activity 10310^3 disintegrations per second. Given that ln⁡2=0.693\ln 2=0.693, the fraction of the initial number of nuclei (expressed in nearest integer percentage) that will decay in the first 80 s80\,\mathrm{s} after preparation of the sample is
