Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the death rate due to accidents per 100,000 of the population, use the formula: $\frac{\text{Number of deaths due to accidents}}{\text{Total population}} \times 100,000$. Plugging in the numbers: $\frac{35,620}{68,500,000} \times 100,000 = 52$ deaths per 100,000.
