: is the half-life of the drug = 3.5 h
N(t): is the quantity of the drug at time t
N₀: is the initial quantity
After 90 min and before he takes the other 200 mg pill, we have:
Now, at 7:00 pm we have:
Therefore, the amount of drug left in his body at 7:00 pm is 315.7 mg (from an initial amount of 400 mg).
