Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the death rate due to heart disease per 100,000 of the population, use the formula: $\frac{\text{Number of deaths from heart disease}}{\text{Total population}} \times 100,000$. Plugging in the numbers: $\frac{205,850}{89,500,000} \times 100,000 = 230$. Therefore, the death rate is 230 deaths per 100,000 of the population.
