Calculated Answer

740

Step by Step Solution

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

n₀ =	35
n₁ =	481

(n₁ * 100) / (100 - n₀)
Evaluate n₁ * 100 = 48100
48100 / (100 - n₀)
Evaluate 100 - n₀ = 65
48100 / 65
Evaluate 48100 / 65 = 740
740
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₁ * 100) / (100 - n₀) is 740
