Final answer:
Multiplying the number of tablets in one bottle (20) by the total number of bottles in stock (4) gives a result of 80 tablets total in stock.
Step-by-step explanation:
If one stock bottle of medication contains 20 tablets, then the total number of tablets in stock given that the current inventory is 4 bottles can be calculated by multiplying the number of tablets in one bottle by the number of bottles.
To find the total, you perform the following calculation:
- Number of tablets per bottle: 20
- Number of bottles: 4
- Total tablets in stock: 20 tablets/bottle × 4 bottles = 80 tablets
Therefore, if the inventory is 4 bottles, and each bottle contains 20 tablets, you have a total of 80 tablets in stock.
