Answer: The rate of decay is 93.3%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The exponential function is given by

[tex]n(x)=7(0.067)^x[/tex]

As we know the general equation of exponential function that is given by

[tex]n(x)=a(1-b)^x[/tex]

Here, a denotes the initial value

1-b denotes the rate of decay.

So, On comparing both the equations, we get that

[tex]1-b=0.067\\\\b=1-0.067\\\\b=0.933=0.933\times 100=93.3\%[/tex]

Hence, the rate of decay is 93.3%.
