Answer:

Explanation:

Lead has an half life of 43.5 seconds

The radioactive decay law says

N(t) = No•2^(-t / t½)

Hence, the percent of a sample of the Lead-214 isotope that decay after a time equivalent to 7 half-lives

​N(t) = No•2^(-t / t½)

N(t) / No = 2^(-t / t½)

N(t) / No = 2^-7

N(t) / No = 7.81 × 10^-3

To percentage

N(t) / No = 7.81 × 10^-3 × 100

N(t) / No = 0.781 %
