Fitting Exponential Models to Data · Review Exercise 120

Use this scenario: A doctor prescribes $300$ milligrams of a therapeutic drug that decays by about $17%$ each hour.

Write an exponential model representing the amount of the drug remaining in the patient’s system after $t$ hours. Then use the formula to find the amount of the drug that would remain in the patient’s system after $24$ hours. Round to the nearest hundredth of a gram.
