Calculated Answer

480

Step by Step Solution

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

n₀ =	600
n₁ =	25

(n₀ * 100) / (n₁ + 100)
Evaluate n₀ * 100 = 60000
60000 / (n₁ + 100)
Evaluate n₁ + 100 = 125
60000 / 125
Evaluate 60000 / 125 = 480
480
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₀ * 100) / (n₁ + 100) is 480
