The amount of radium 226 remaining in a sample that originally contained A grams is approximately C(t) = A(0.999 567)t where t is time in years. Find the half-life to the nearest 100 years.

I assume you mean:
Do some calculation.
Let C be the initial amount of Radium.
When C halves, we get:
Where:
Replacing back, we get:
Therefore;
Find the value of t.
Post what you get! :)
