Question 1048640: At the end of the day, a pharmacist counted and found she has 4/3 as many prescriptions for antibiotics as she did for tranquilizers. She had 84 prescriptions for the two types of drugs. How many prescriptions did she have for tranquilizers?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let n be the amount of prescriptions for tranquilizers. Then:
n+4n/3=84
3n+4n=252
n=36 is the amount of tranquilizer prescriptions. ☺☺☺☺
