Calculated Answer

0.7

Step by Step Solution

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

• n₀ - n₁ - (n₀ * n₁) / 100

• Evaluate n₀ - n₁ = 1

  1 - (n₀ * n₁) / 100

• Evaluate n₀ * n₁ = 30

  1 - 30 / 100

• Evaluate 30 / 100 = 0.3

  1 - 0.3

• Evaluate 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

  0.7
• The answer to the problem and the result of n₀ - n₁ - (n₀ * n₁) / 100 is 0.7
