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

Step-by-step 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.
