Question

The number of deaths due to poisoning in country A in a year ​(25 comma 200​) is​ _____ percent greater than the number of deaths due to falls ​(21 comma 400​).

Answer 1

Answer:

17.76

Explanation:

Deaths due to poisoning: P = 25,200

Deaths due to falls: F = 21,400

The percentage difference between the number of deaths due to poisoning and deaths due to fall is given by:

$\%D =\frac{P-F}{F}\\\%D =\frac{25,200-21,400}{21,400}=0.1776=17.76\%$

The number of deaths due to poisoning is 17.76 percent greater than the number of deaths due to falls.
