Step by Step Solution

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

• (n₀ * 100) / (n₂ + 100) + (n₁ * 100) / (n₃ + 100)

• Evaluate n₀ * 100 = 1000

  1000 / (n₂ + 100) + (n₁ * 100) / (n₃ + 100)

• Evaluate n₂ + 100 = 125

  1000 / 125 + (n₁ * 100) / (n₃ + 100)

• Evaluate 1000 / 125 = 8

  8 + (n₁ * 100) / (n₃ + 100)

• Evaluate n₁ * 100 = 900

  8 + 900 / (n₃ + 100)

• Evaluate n₃ + 100 = 150

  8 + 900 / 150

• Evaluate 900 / 150 = 6

  8 + 6

• Evaluate 8 + 6 = 14

• The answer to the problem and the result of (n₀ * 100) / (n₂ + 100) + (n₁ * 100) / (n₃ + 100) is 14
