350

Step by Step Solution

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

• n₂ / (1 - (n₀ * n₁) / 100)

• Evaluate n₀ * n₁ = 32

  n₂ / (1 - 32 / 100)

• Evaluate 32 / 100 = 0.32

  n₂ / (1 - 0.32)

• Evaluate 1 - 0.32 = 0.68

  n₂ / 0.68

• Evaluate n₂ / 0.68 = 350

  350
• The answer to the problem and the result of n₂ / (1 - (n₀ * n₁) / 100) is 350
