I am not 100% as I am learning about this too so here I go. a=1-r is the decay formula a=1-.1=.9 .9^12=.282429=.28 rounded to two decimal places. I raised the.9 to the 12th because there are 12 months in 1 year. Do you have multiple attempts?

 (.1) 1 =  (1-r)100       century decay factor = yearly decay factor100

   .1    = (1-r)100               (1-r) = yearly decay factor = .977237221
