Q. After Batman brought the Joker to justice, the crime rate in Arkham City decreased by 12%12\%. Previously, the crime rate was cc incidents per 10001000 people. Which of the following expressions could represent the crime rate in Arkham City after Batman brought the Joker to justice?
  1. Identify Crime Rate: Step 11: Identify the original crime rate and the percentage decrease.\newlineOriginal crime rate = cc incidents per 10001000 people.\newlinePercentage decrease = 12%12\%.
  2. Calculate Decrease: Step 22: Calculate the decrease in crime rate.\newlineDecrease in crime rate = 12%12\% of cc = 0.12×c0.12 \times c.
  3. Determine New Rate: Step 33: Determine the new crime rate after the decrease.\newlineNew crime rate = Original crime rate - Decrease in crime rate = c0.12×c=0.88×cc - 0.12 \times c = 0.88 \times c.
