    Step-by-step explanation:

    From that moment forward, the medicine concentration drop by 30% each hour. It means that the rate at which the medicine concentration is dropping is exponential. We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

    A = P (1 - r) ^t

    Where

    P represents the initial concentration.

    A represents the final concentration after t hours.

    t represents the number of hours.

    r represents the rate

    From the information given

    P = 120 mg/L

    r = 30% = 30/100 = 0.3

    The expression becomes

    C (t) = 120 (1 - 0.3) ^t

    C (t) = 120 (0.7) ^t
