Q:

As a pharmacist, part of your daily duties is to mix medications in the proper proportions for your patients. For one of your regular patients, you always mix Medication A with Medication B in the same proportion. Last week, your patient's doctor indicated that you should mix 110 milligrams of Medication A with 154 milligrams of Medication B. However this week, the doctor said to only use 126 milligrams of Medication B. How many milligrams of Medication A should be mixed this week?

Accepted Solution

A:
110/154 = x/126154x/13860x = 13860 /154 = 90Β 90 milligrams of medicine A
