Answer:
After 5 minutes, it remains 75.73 grams of mass.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each minute, the mass is decreased by a 25.5%. So, we can find the mass after each minute period.
First minute.
330gr - 0.255 (330gr)= (330 - 84.15)gr = 245.85gr
Second minute.
245.85 - 0.255 (245.85) = 245.85 - 62.69 = 183.16gr
Third minute.
183.16 - 0.255 (183.16) = 183.16- 46.70= 136.45gr
Fourth minute.
136.45- 0.255 (183.16) - 136.45 - 34.80= 101.65gr
Fifth minute.
101.65 - 0.255 (101.65)= 101.65 - 25.92= 75.73gr
Therefore, after 5 minutes, it remains 75.73 grams of mass.
