Answer = 34

Because he's only been taking it for 3 months so within that 3 months January has 31 days February has 28 days and March has 31 days. Since he's already on the 14 days in March all I did was out of the three months so 31 + 28 + 31 = 90 pills that he have so far for 3 months. Then since he takes it twice a day and he's already on the 14th day of March I multiplied 4 * 14 which would give you 56 then I subtracted 90 - 56 = 34.
