Question

Cefaclor 250 mg capsules can be ordered in a bottle of 100 capsules. The maximum inventory level is 250 capsules and the minimum level is 50 capsules. If the current inventory is 25 capsules, how many bottles need to be ordered?

Answer 1

The bottles of capsules needed is 200 capsules

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

the maximum inventory level, = 250 capsules

minimum inventory level, = 50 capsules

current inventory = 25

Since the current inventory is 25 capsules which is below the minimum inventory level.

bottles of capsules needed = 2 x 100 capsules = 200 capsules

Check: After the order the current inventory level = 225 capsules which is below the maximum level of 250 capsules.

Also, more cannot be ordered since an additional order of 100 capsules will make the total exceed 250 capsules.
