Instead of it being 100 I'd like for it to be replaced with 2.5 x 1013

The perception of the loudness B (in decibels, dB) of a sound with physical intensity I
(in W/m²) is given by
B = 10 log|
where I, is the physical intensity of a barely audible sound. Find the decibel level
(loudness) of a sound whose physical intensity I is 100 times that of Io.
