    Answer: 300

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Number of robberies last year was = 332

    Percentage of reduction in the subsequent year = 14%

    Therefore, to know the decline amount, we find 14% of 332

    = 14/100 x 332

    = 46.48

    Now to find out the number of robberies cases recorded this year, it will be

    = 332 - 46.48

    = 285.52

    ≅ 300
