Calculated Answer

78.4

Step by Step Solution

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

n₀ =	12
n₁ =	70

n₁ + n₁ * n₀ / 100
Evaluate n₀ / 100 = 0.12
n₁ + n₁ * 0.12
Evaluate n₁ * 0.12 = 8.4
n₁ + 8.4
Evaluate n₁ + 8.4 = 78.4
78.4
The answer to the problem and the result of n₁ + n₁ * n₀ / 100 is 78.4
