I would figure this out slowly. So the percentage would be 25 2.6 billion years ago. That would leave it at 50 percent 5.2 billion years ago. If you double that 50 percent to get 100% and double the 5.2 billion years you get 10.4 billion years. This would make the answer, the rock is 10.4 billion years old
