Calculated Answer

162

Step by Step Solution

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

n₀ =	360
n₁ =	10

(n₀ / 2 * (100 - n₁)) / 100
Evaluate n₀ / 2 = 180
(180 * (100 - n₁)) / 100
Evaluate 100 - n₁ = 90
(180 * 90) / 100
Evaluate 180 * 90 = 16200
16200 / 100
Evaluate 16200 / 100 = 162
162
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₀ / 2 * (100 - n₁)) / 100 is 162
