Calculated Answer

180

Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate (n₀ * 3) / (1 + 10).

n₀ =	660

(n₀ * 3) / (1 + 10)
Evaluate n₀ * 3 = 1980
1980 / (1 + 10)
Evaluate 1 + 10 = 11
1980 / 11
Evaluate 1980 / 11 = 180
180
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₀ * 3) / (1 + 10) is 180
