Complete Question
If a patient needs a 30-day supply of tablets and takes two tablets four times a day, how many tablets will the patient need for discharge?
Answer:
240 tablets
Explanation:
From the question we are told the patient needs a 30 days supply of drugs.
This means the patient will be discharged after 30 days
We are told the patient takes 2 tablets , four times a day
This means
One day = 2 tablets × 4 = 8 tablets
Hence, if:
1 day = 8 tablets
30 days = unknown so we represent by Y
We cross multiply
1 × Y = 8tablets × 30days
Y = 240 tablets
Therefore, the patient would need 240 tablets for discharge.
