We know that,
 
 =2.303/t  log a 0 /a
where lembda= disintegration constant
          t   = time
          a 0= amount of radioactive substance at 0 time(in our case 100%)
          a   = substance after time t
2.303/1  log  100/90  =  2.303/2  log  100/a
cancelling 2.303 on both sides ,we get
2 log 100 - 2 log 90   = log 100 -log a
4 - 2 log 90 = 2 - log a
log a= 2 - 4  + 2 log 90
= -2  +2 (1.9542)
= -2  +3.9084
= 1.9084
a = antilog of 1.9084
= 80.98
hence, the pecentage of radioactive substance remaining at the end of two hours is 80.98%.
