Perciocet contains oxycodone at varying strengths. Every strength also contains 325 mg of oxycodone per tablet. If the dose is not to exceed 3.9 g of oxycodone daily, what is the maximum number of Percocet tablets a patient can take daily?

To find the maximum number of Percocet tablets a patient can take daily, we need to determine the maximum number of tablets that can be taken without exceeding the daily dose limit of 3.9 g of oxycodone. Given: - Each Percocet tablet contains 325 mg of oxycodone. - The daily dose limit is 3.9 g of oxycodone. First, let's convert the daily dose limit from grams to milligrams: \[ 3.9 \, \text{g} = 3.9 \times 1000 \, \text{mg} = 3900 \, \text{mg} \] Now, we can calculate the maximum number of tablets that can be taken daily by dividing the daily dose limit by the amount of oxycodone in each tablet: \[ \text{Maximum number of tablets} = \frac{3900 \, \text{mg}}{325 \, \text{mg}} \] Let's calculate this. Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(\frac{3900}{325}\) - step1: Reduce the numbers: \(\frac{12}{1}\) - step2: Calculate: \(12\)
