In a newspaper, it was reported that the number of yearly robberies in Springfield in 2013 was 100, and then went up by 25% in 2014. How many robberies were there in Springfield in 2014?

125

Step-by-step explanation:

So saying something went up by 25% means that it is essentially

X + .25X

So in this case X = 100 and .25X = 25

So 100 + 25 = 125

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
