How many 120mg pseudoephedrine sulfate tablets equal to a 9-gram transaction?

84 tablets
90 tablets
98 tablets
100 tablets

The correct answer is: 84 tablets

To determine how many 120 mg pseudoephedrine sulfate tablets equal a total of 9 grams, it’s essential to convert grams to milligrams since the dose of the tablet is in milligrams. Nine grams is equivalent to 9,000 milligrams (1 gram = 1,000 milligrams). Next, you would divide the total milligrams by the dosage of each tablet to find out how many tablets are needed: 9,000 mg ÷ 120 mg/tablet = 75 tablets. The calculated number of tablets indicates that there is some inconsistency with the answer provided. Among the choices given, the correct calculation yields 75 tablets, which does not align with any choice in the provided options. Thus, the accurate answer should be reconsidered, confirming the calculation aligns with the correct pharmacological understanding.
