Calculated Answer

200

Step by Step Solution

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

n₀ =	60
n₁ =	80
n₂ =	40

(n₁ + n₂) / (n₀ / 100)
Evaluate n₁ + n₂ = 120
120 / (n₀ / 100)
Evaluate n₀ / 100 = 0.6
120 / 0.6
Evaluate 120 / 0.6 = 200
200
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₁ + n₂) / (n₀ / 100) is 200
