The doctor has asked that a patient’s medication be reduced by 25%. The patient is currently taking 400 mg of medication per day. How much medication will the patient receive moving forward?

A 25% reduction means subtracting one-quarter of the current dose. One-quarter of 400 mg is 100 mg, so the new daily dose is 400 mg − 100 mg = 300 mg. The patient will receive 300 mg per day.
