Half life means only half of matter is left, which means half is decayed/radiated.
Formula for half life is
t/2 = [(elapsed time)*(log2)]/[log(beginning amount/ending amount)]
1. t/2 = [(10)*(log2)]/[log(100/76.1)] = 25.378 minutes.
t/2 = [10 * 0.301]/[log 1.314] = [3.01]/[0.1186] = 25.378
2. 53.12 = [(T)*(log2)]/[log(15/4)], on solving we get, T = 101.29 days
53.12 = [T * 0.301]/[log 3.75] = [0.301 * T]/[0.574],
T = [53.12 * 0.574]/[0.301] = [30.49]/[0.301] = 101.29
