Step by Step Solution

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

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

• Evaluate n₀ / 100 = 0.15

  n₁ / (1 - 0.15) + n₁ / (1 - n₀ / 100) * n₂ / 100

• Evaluate 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

  n₁ / 0.85 + n₁ / (1 - n₀ / 100) * n₂ / 100

• Evaluate n₁ / 0.85 = 200

  200 + n₁ / (1 - n₀ / 100) * n₂ / 100

• Evaluate n₀ / 100 = 0.15

  200 + n₁ / (1 - 0.15) * n₂ / 100

• Evaluate 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

  200 + n₁ / 0.85 * n₂ / 100

• Evaluate n₁ / 0.85 = 200

  200 + 200 * n₂ / 100

• Evaluate n₂ / 100 = 0.2

  200 + 200 * 0.2

• Evaluate 200 * 0.2 = 40

  200 + 40

• Evaluate 200 + 40 = 240

  240
• The answer to the problem and the result of n₁ / (1 - n₀ / 100) + n₁ / (1 - n₀ / 100) * n₂ / 100 is 240
