Calculated Answer

100

Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate (1 - (n₀ + n₁ / n₂) / n₃) * 1000.

• (1 - (n₀ + n₁ / n₂) / n₃) * 1000

• Evaluate n₁ / n₂ = 0.5

  (1 - (n₀ + 0.5) / n₃) * 1000

• Evaluate n₀ + 0.5 = 4.5

  (1 - 4.5 / n₃) * 1000

• Evaluate 4.5 / n₃ = 0.9

  (1 - 0.9) * 1000

• Evaluate 1 - 0.9 = 0.1

  0.1 * 1000

• Evaluate 0.1 * 1000 = 100

  100
• The answer to the problem and the result of (1 - (n₀ + n₁ / n₂) / n₃) * 1000 is 100
