How should a question ending in a statement be punctuated, as ending it in a question mark seems a little off?

Question

In the example in the headline to this question, the statement qualifying the question makes the punctuation seem ill-fitting...Here's another example: "Will you be able to make a decision on this, as it’s getting on to a year old?"

Answer 1

The question mark at the end is correct. However, if it bothers you, you can re-write the sentence. "Since this is getting on to a year old, will you be able to make a decision soon?"
