In the above question 1-e-Bt  is dimensionless.Take a look at the quantities: the first is e which is a constant having value 2.71828 which is dimensionless, then are the exponents -Bt ,where beta again is a constant,which is dimensionless, then is t  which is dimensional, but it never makes sense for a physical quantity to be the power.
For example 103 = 10×10×10
but ther is nothing like 103seconds 
or 103metres.
