To determine the number of robberies in Springfield in 2014 after a 19% decrease from 2013, we first need to calculate 19% of the 2013 figure.
The number of robberies in 2013 was 200. We calculate 19% of 200:
\[
19\% \text{ of } 200 = 0.19 \times 200 = 38
\]
Now, we subtract this number from the 2013 total to find the number of robberies in 2014:
\[
\text{Robberies in 2014} = 200 - 38 = 162
\]
Thus, the number of robberies in Springfield in 2014 was **162**.
