Find how old is the bone of living organism

Reference no: EM13173353

In a living organism, the decay of C-14 produces 15.3 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon. The half-life of C-14 is 5730 years. A bone sample with 3.6 g of carbon has 32.6 disintegrations per minute. How old is the bone sample in years?
