You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Another, much older help request showed the formula as d=D%28a%2B1%29%2F24.
See that post here: http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/NumericFractions/Numeric_Fractions.faq.question.391130.html

Your problem is given a=9 years, and D=500 mg.
Substitute the values and evaluate d.

d=500%289%2B1%29%2F24
d=5000%2F24
highlight%28d=208%29 mg or to whatever accuracy seems to make sense.
