Calculated Answer

20

Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate (n₀ / 2 * (100 - n₁)) / 100.

n₀ =	50
n₁ =	20

(n₀ / 2 * (100 - n₁)) / 100
Evaluate n₀ / 2 = 25
(25 * (100 - n₁)) / 100
Evaluate 100 - n₁ = 80
(25 * 80) / 100
Evaluate 25 * 80 = 2000
2000 / 100
Evaluate 2000 / 100 = 20
20
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₀ / 2 * (100 - n₁)) / 100 is 20
