A new drug is metabolized by healthy aduits at a rate of 25% each hour. After 2.5 hours, a patient had 100 mg of the drug in their body. How much of the drug were they given 2.5 hours ago? You can use the formula: R=Ix0.75 R= amount remaining 1- initial amount t- time Round your answer to one significant digit. Do not include the unit milligrams.
