Step 1
First, we need to find the formula for the caffeine level after t hours. Since the half-life of caffeine is 5.5 hours, we can use the formula: C(t) = C0 * (1/2)^(t/5.5) where C(t) is the caffeine level after t hours, C0 is the initial caffeine level (80 mg in Show more…

The half-life of caffeine in the human body is about 6.4 hours. A cup of coffee has about 85 mg of caffeine. Write an equation for the amount of caffeine in a person's body after drinking a cup of coffee? Let C be the milligrams of caffeine in the body after t hours. How much caffeine will remain after 10 hours? State your answer to the nearest hundredth of a mg. How long until there are only 20 mg remaining? hours State your answer to the nearest hundredth of an hour.
