Answer each question below.
A stock bottle of medication contains 500 mg of drug used in compounding other medications. You used 125 mg for one prescription and 62.5 mg for a second prescription, while the third prescription was for a child and only 25.25 mg were necessary.
a. What quantity medication has been used? __________
b. What quantity of the original medication is left? __________
You would do 125 mg + 62.5 mg + 25.25 mg = 212.75 I am not an expert at math but I am 85% sure that is correct and the quantity of the leftover original medication... 500 mg - 212.75 = 287.25
