In a newspaper, it was reported that the number of yearly robberies in Springfield in 2013 was 125, and then went down by 12% in 2014. How many robberies were there in Springfield in 2014?

110

Step-by-step explanation:

No of robberies = 125

Percentage = 100%

No of robberies = 'd'

Percentage = 12% lower than 2013 = 100% - 12%

= 88%

No of robberies in 2014 = 88% of the number of robberies in 2013

'd' = 88/100 × 125

'd' = 0.88 × 125

'd' = 110

2014 robberies = 110 in number

$3720

step-by-step explanation:

taxable income = $31000

as per the 2018-2019 us tax bracket, the tax rate is 12% for an individual whose taxable income is between $9,526 to $38,700.

so, the tax to be paid by him = 12% of 31000

= 0.12 * 31000     [12% converted to decimal as 0.12]

= $3720

y= 2x+7

changed to y= 5x +7

as slope is increased from 2 to 5

therefore it would be less steeper

so, option d) is correct
