Step by Step Solution

In order to solve problem, you must evaluate (n₀ * (100 - (n₃ + n₁ + n₂))) / 100.

n₀ =	850
n₁ =	40
n₂ =	28
n₃ =	10

(n₀ * (100 - (n₃ + n₁ + n₂))) / 100
Evaluate n₁ + n₂ = 68
(n₀ * (100 - (n₃ + 68))) / 100
Evaluate n₃ + 68 = 78
(n₀ * (100 - 78)) / 100
Evaluate 100 - 78 = 22
(n₀ * 22) / 100
Evaluate n₀ * 22 = 18700
18700 / 100
Evaluate 18700 / 100 = 187
187
The answer to the problem and the result of (n₀ * (100 - (n₃ + n₁ + n₂))) / 100 is 187
