c regularly every 12 hours for 10 days. Sophia is curious and wants to know how much of the drug will be in her body over the course of the 10 days. She does some research online and finds out that at the end of 12 hours, about 4.5% of the drug is still in the body.

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Dosage= 500 mg

Frequency= twice a day (every 12 hours)

Duration= 10 days

Number of dosage= 10*2= 20

residual drug amount after each dosage= 4.5%

We can build an equation to calculate residual drug amount:

d= 500*(4.5/100)*t= 22.5t, where d- is residual drug, t is number of dosage

After first dose residual drug amount is:

  • d= 500*0.045= 22.5 mg

After second dose:

  • d= 22.5*2= 45 mg

As per the equation, the higher the t, the greater the residual drug amount in the body.

Maximum residual drug will be in the body:

  • d= 20*22.5= 450 mg at the end of 10 days

Maximum drug will be in the body right after the last dose, when the amount will be:

  • 500+19*22.5= 927.5 mg
