A cold tablet contains the following amounts of active ingredients: acetaminophen 325 mg, chlorpheniramine maleate 2 mg, and dex

Answer:

The number of tablets that can be prepared is 3076.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of active ingredients in the tablet is the sum of the amounts provided in the formula:

$325 mg + 2mg+15 mg=342 mg$

The percentages of each component in the formula are:

Acetaminophen: $\frac{325mg*100}{342mg}=95.03$ %

Chlorpheniramine maleate: $\frac{2mg*100}{342mg} =0.58$ %

Dextromethorphan hydrobromide: $\frac{15mg*100}{342mg}=4.39$ %

If 1 Kg= $10^{6}$ mg of acetaminophen is used, the needed amount of chlorpheniramine maleate would be:

$\frac{10^{6} mg *0.58}{95.03}=6153.85 mg$

Since there are 125 g = 125000 mg of chlorpheniramine maleate, there is enough of these ingredient to run the available acetaminophen out. Thus, the total amount of active ingredients that can be prepared with 1 kg of acetaminophen is:

$\frac{10^{6}mg*100}{95.03}=1052307.7mg$
