A patient takes a 100100 mg dose of a drug every 66 hours; each dose enters the blood instantly, and between doses the drug is eliminated by A′=−kAA' = -kA with a half-life of 66 hours. Once the levels have settled into a repeating pattern, what is the average amount of drug in the blood over one dosing period (in mg)? Give an exact answer.
