Bree baked a Yam Pie, and she only wants to eat it once the temperature reaches 25 degrees Celsius, so that it will not burn her. Initially she measured the temperature and the pie was 40 degrees Celsius. One minute later, the pie was 35 degrees. The ambient temperature of the room is 22 degrees. When should Bree start eating the pie?

Question

Need help solving the word problem below:

 

(For this problem, you need to use Newton’s law of cooling which states that the rate of change of the temperature of an object is proportional to the difference between that temperature and the ambient temperature. Recall that a is proportional to b if there is k such that a = kb.)
