Answer:

The dosage will be 238 MGS after decrease.

Explanation:

The current dosage of the medication of the patient = 340 MGS

patient requires 30% decrease in the dosage of the medication.

Now her new dosage after decrease = 340 -(30% × 340)

= 340 -(0.30 × 340)

= 340 - 102

= 238 MGS

The dosage will be 238 MGS after decrease.
