    Number of robberies in Springfield in 2013 is 380.

    Explanation:

    Robberies occured in the year 2013 and 2014

    Let the number of Robberies in 2013 = x

    In 2014, the robberies reduced to 20%

    and the number of robberies in 2014 = 76

    So, 20% of x = 76

    = 2/10. x = 76

    x = 380

    Therefore, number of robberies in Springfield in 2013 is 380.
