Suppose that in 2008, 859 comma 200 citizens died of a certain disease. assuming the population of the country is 213 million, what was the mortality rate in units of deaths per 100,000 people?

First, we have to divide the number of dead citizens by the number of the total population.

859,200/213 million

= 0.00403380281

Then, we multiply the result by 100,000 to obtain the mortality rate.

0.00403380281 x 100,000

= 403.380281.

This means that the mortality rate of citizens killed by this certain disease in 2008 is of 403,38.
