The document contains instructions for two math problems. The first problem asks students to calculate the population of a community that starts at 25,000 and increases by 80,000 over 10 years, and what the population will be after another 10 years. The second problem asks students to calculate the percentage of radium remaining after 200 years if the half-life of radium is 1600 years and half of any given amount decomposes every 1600 years. Students are instructed to show their work for each problem on separate halves of a bond paper.

a community increases by 80 000 in 10 years. What will be its population in another 10 years?
Quiz # 3: Radium decomposes at a rate of
proportional to the amount present. If the half-life is 1600 years, that is, half of any given amount is decomposed in 1600 years, find the percentage remaining at the end of 200 years
