N a newspaper, it was reported that yearly robberies in Springfield were down 20% to 176 in 2011 from 2010. How many robberies were there in Springfield in 2010?

There were 220 robberies in Springfield in 2010

Step-by-step explanation: If the robberies were reported to be down 20% and the new figure is 176, it simply means the figure 176 depicts 80% (or 0.8) of the figure from year 2010.

We shall take the figure in year 2010 as x, which is 100% (or 1.0) and year 2011 is 176 which is 80% (or 0.8). What we now have is;

176/x = 0.8

176/x = 4/5

By cross multiplication we now have;

(176 x 5)/4 = x

880/4 = x

220 = x

Therefore, there were 220 robberies in Springfield in 2010

There were 220 robberies in Springfield in 2010.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given.

Since the robberies decreased 20%, it means that 2011 are robberies are the 80% (100%-20%) of the 2010 robberies (x).

So if we multiply the yearly robberies in 2010 (x) by 0.8 (decimal form, 80/100=0.8) , we obtain the number of yearly robberies in 2011 (176).

x (0.80) = 176

Solving for x

x = 176/0.8

x = 220  robberies (2010)

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.

"image"

step-by-step explanation:

in most of these problems, the notation is that the point with a "prime" is the image of the point without. that is, b' is the image of b.

here, there is no dilation or reflection. there is simply translation (with no direction shown). which figure you call the "preimage" and which one you call the "image" is up to you. as a matter of convention, the naming is as described above.
