It is given that the tablet is to be taken 2 times a day.

That means in 1 day, 2 tablets will be taken.

So in 90 days the number of tablets is calculated as follows:


\begin{gathered} 1\text{ day}\Rightarrow2\text{ tablets} \\ 90*1\text{ day}\Rightarrow90*2\text{ tablets} \\ 90\text{ days}\Rightarrow180\text{ tablets} \end{gathered}

Hence Marilyn will take 180 tablets in 90 days.
