563 - (563x0.25) = 422.25 -> 422
16
422 -(422x0.25) = 316.5 -> 317
20
317 - (317x0.25) = 237.75 -> 238
24
238 - (238x0.25) = 178.5 -> 179
28 (continue the step by step process)
134.25 -> 134
32
100.5 -> 101

Step-by-step explanation:
the time interval has to keep skipping by four hours because the medicine is filtered in that amount of time.
The multiplying by 0.25 part must be done first in order to show how much the kidney has filtered.
after this, you need to subtract that from how many milligrams of medicine are left in your system
note that if you do not subtract, you will only be showing how much the kidney has filtered. the question asks for how much is left in the SYSTEM overall, so subtracting is quite necessary to completely answer the question.
I hope this helped.
