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.
