so half-life of Carbon can be written under the following formula:
C(t)=(1/2)t/5600
Now based on the question 67% or .67 of the original Carbon is left, so we need to plug this number into C(t) and then solve for t:
.67=(1/2)t/5600, (ln both sides) ln.67=ln(1/2)t/5600, ln.67=(t/5600)ln.5, (multiply by 5600 and divide by ln.5)
t=5600ln.67/ln.5=3235.5 years ago
