How do I solve this

How long will it take before twenty percent of our 1,000-gram sample of uranium-235 has decayed? [See Section 6.6 Example 13]

The decay equation is  A(t)=A_0e^{Kt} , where t is the time for the decay, and K is the characteristic of the material. Suppose T is the time it takes for half of the unstable material in a sample of a radioactive substance to decay, called its half-life. Prove that  K= \frac{ln0.5}{T}  . What is for the uranium-235? Show the steps of your reasoning.

Some information from Example 13 is missing.
