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
