Question

Need help with this question I can’t get the answer

Answer 1

We can use a rule of three to solve the exercise.

`\begin{gathered} 175\rightarrow100\% \\ x\rightarrow92\% \\ \text{ Because }100\%-8\%=92\% \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} x=(92\%\cdot175)/(100\%) \\ x=(92\cdot175)/(100) \\ x=(16100)/(100) \\ x=161 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, there were 161 robberies in Springfield in 2012.
