5.1% - 0.051

Decay formula = total = start value x (1-rate)^time

200 = 320 x (1-0.051)^t

200 = 320 x 0.949^t

Divide both sides by 320"

0.625 = 0.949^t

Take the logarithm of both sides:

log 0.949^t = log 0.625

t * log 0.949 = log 0.625

t = log 0.625/log 0.949 = 8.98 minutes

Rounded to nearest minute =  9 minutes
