Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate n₁ / n₀ - n₂.

n₀ =	78
n₁ =	6788
n₂ =	29

n₁ / n₀ - n₂
Evaluate n₁ / n₀ = 87.025641025641
87.025641025641 - n₂
Evaluate 87.025641025641 - n₂ = 58.025641025641
58.025641025641
The answer to the problem and the result of n₁ / n₀ - n₂ is 58.025641025641
