Answer: The level of aspirin (mg) will be in your bloodstream in 4 hours = 35.70 mg.

Explanation:

If the amount is decreasing by r%, then the final amount is given by :-


A=P(1-r)^t

, where P = initial value , t= time

Given: P= 200 milligram, r= 35% = 0.35, t= 4 hours

The level of aspirin (mg) will be in your bloodstream in 4 hours =
200(1-0.35)^4


=200(0.65)^4\\\\=200* 0.17850625\\\\=35.70125\approx35.70 \ mg

Hence, the level of aspirin (mg) will be in your bloodstream in 4 hours = 35.70 mg.
