Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate (n₁ * n₀ / 100 - n₃) / (n₂ / 100).

n₀ =	15
n₁ =	40
n₂ =	25
n₃ =	2

(n₁ * n₀ / 100 - n₃) / (n₂ / 100)
Evaluate n₀ / 100 = 0.15
(n₁ * 0.15 - n₃) / (n₂ / 100)
Evaluate n₁ * 0.15 = 6
(6 - n₃) / (n₂ / 100)
Evaluate 6 - n₃ = 4
4 / (n₂ / 100)
Evaluate n₂ / 100 = 0.25
4 / 0.25
Evaluate 4 / 0.25 = 16
16
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₁ * n₀ / 100 - n₃) / (n₂ / 100) is 16
