In a newspaper, it was reported that the number of yearly robberies in Springfield in 2011 was 175, and then went down by 8% in 2012. How many robberies were there in Springfield in 2012?

Respuesta :

Answer:

161

Step-by-step explanation:

8% = 8/100

[tex]\frac{8}{100}[/tex]× 175 = 175/100 = 1.75 × 8 = 14

Went down so 175 - 14 = 161
