Question

Joan has a prescription for 100 Theophylline capsules. Joan informs the pharmacist that she only has enough money to purchase ¼ of the prescription today. How many capsules will Joan pay for today?

Answer 1

25 capsules.

Explanation:

We are told that Joan has a prescription for 100 Theophylline capsules. Joan informs the pharmacist that she only has enough money to purchase ¼ of the prescription today.

To find the number of capsules that Joan will pay for today, we will find 1/4 of 100.

`\text{The number of capsules that Joan will pay for today}=(1)/(4)* 100`

`\text{The number of capsules that Joan will pay for today}=25`

Therefore, Joan will pay for 25 capsules today.
