In a newspaper, it was reported that yearly robberies in Springfield were up 50% to 93 in 2013 from 2012. How many robberies were there in Springfield in 2012?

There were 62 deaths

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of robberies in 2012.

From the question we can identify that the number of robberies were up 50% to 93. What this means is that the number is simply 150% of the old number.

Now, let’s represent the number of deaths in 2012 by x

Mathematically;

150% of x = 93

150/100 * x = 93

150x = 93 * 100

150x = 9300

x = 9300/150

x= 62

This means there were 62 deaths in the year 2012
