carbon dating.. carbon 14 half life = 5730 for this math problem?

In 1389, the Bishop of Troyes wrote a memo to the Pope, accusing a colleague of passing off “a certain cloth, cunningly patterened” asd the burial shroud of Jesus Christ. Despite this early testimony of forgery, this so-called Shroud of Turin has survived as a famous relic. In 1988, a small sample of the Shroud of Turin was taken asd scientists from Oxford University, the University of Arizona, and the Swill Federal Institute of Technology were permitted to test it. Suppose the cloth contained 90.7$ of the original amount carbon. According to the information how old is the shroud?

well, .907 = .5^(x/5730)
ln(.907) = ln(.5)*x/5730
so x = 5730*ln(.907)/ln(.5)
which is about 806.9303679 years
