3750

Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate n₀ - n₀ / ((100 - n₂) / (100 - n₁) + 1).

• n₀ - n₀ / ((100 - n₂) / (100 - n₁) + 1)

• Evaluate 100 - n₂ = 15

  n₀ - n₀ / (15 / (100 - n₁) + 1)

• Evaluate 100 - n₁ = 5

  n₀ - n₀ / (15 / 5 + 1)

• Evaluate 15 / 5 = 3

  n₀ - n₀ / (3 + 1)

• Evaluate 3 + 1 = 4

  n₀ - n₀ / 4

• Evaluate n₀ / 4 = 1250

  n₀ - 1250

• Evaluate n₀ - 1250 = 3750

  3750
• The answer to the problem and the result of n₀ - n₀ / ((100 - n₂) / (100 - n₁) + 1) is 3750
