    First convert the patients weight from lbs to kg

    Look up (google lbs to kg) 100 lbs = 45.4 kg person

    If this person gets 15 mg amoxicillin per 1 kg body weight

    45.4 kg * 15 mg = 681 mg per day

    times 7 days = 4,767 mg

    Closest answer you have listed is B. It may be off a little depending on the lbs to kg conversion and rounding weight.
