Find the age of dish if decay constant of carbon is given


A sample of a dish from an archaeological dig gave 18 500 disintegrations per gram of carbon per day. A 1.00-g sample of carbon from a modern source gave 22 080 disintegrations per day. If the decay constant of carbon-14 is 1.2 × 10-4 y-1, what is the age of the dish?
