In a certain town there were 403 robberies last year. This year the number of robberies has gone down 35%. How many robberies were there this year, to the nearest whole number?

262

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Question, we know that:

In a certain town there were 403 robberies last year. This year the number of robberies has gone down 35%.

Step 1

Find the amount decreased

35% × 403

= 35/100 × 403

= 141.05

Step 2

The amount of robberies this year is:

= 403 - 141.05

= 261.95

Approximately to the nearest whole number = 262

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
