Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea here is to be able to write and then solve the equation needed for this. In words, this is what you are looking to solve: "The active ingredinet is 45% of the mass of the pill". Putting those words into an equation:

active ingredient = .45 (mass of pill). Since our active ingredient is 35 mg:

325 = .45m and divide by .45:

m = 722.2 mg
