Step by Step Solution

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

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

• Evaluate n₂ / 100 = 0.3

  (n₀ * 0.3 + n₁ * n₃ / 100) / (n₀ + n₁) * 100

• Evaluate n₀ * 0.3 = 150

  (150 + n₁ * n₃ / 100) / (n₀ + n₁) * 100

• Evaluate n₃ / 100 = 0.5

  (150 + n₁ * 0.5) / (n₀ + n₁) * 100

• Evaluate n₁ * 0.5 = 100

  (150 + 100) / (n₀ + n₁) * 100

• Evaluate 150 + 100 = 250

  250 / (n₀ + n₁) * 100

• Evaluate n₀ + n₁ = 700

  250 / 700 * 100

• Evaluate 250 / 700 = 0.35714285714286

  0.35714285714286 * 100

• Evaluate 0.35714285714286 * 100 = 35.714285714286

  35.714285714286
• The answer to the problem and the result of (n₀ * n₂ / 100 + n₁ * n₃ / 100) / (n₀ + n₁) * 100 is 35.714285714286
