Calculated Answer

1190

Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate (n₀ * (100 - n₁)) / 100.

n₀ =	1400
n₁ =	15

(n₀ * (100 - n₁)) / 100
Evaluate 100 - n₁ = 85
(n₀ * 85) / 100
Evaluate n₀ * 85 = 119000
119000 / 100
Evaluate 119000 / 100 = 1190
1190
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₀ * (100 - n₁)) / 100 is 1190
