Calculated Answer

400

Step by Step Solution

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

n₀ =	35
n₁ =	260

(n₁ * 100) / (100 - n₀)
Evaluate n₁ * 100 = 26000
26000 / (100 - n₀)
Evaluate 100 - n₀ = 65
26000 / 65
Evaluate 26000 / 65 = 400
400
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₁ * 100) / (100 - n₀) is 400
