      Never mind that, what does “07% per 100K” even mean? As far as I can tell that evaluates to 0.0000007 or 7 per 10 million

        The “%” is unnecessary, yeah. I‘m guessing she meant “0.7 homicides per 100K citizens per Annum”

        Assuming it’s .07% and not 7% since the latter wouldn’t make sense with their post, that would make it 70 out of 100,000.

            the f*ck are you talking about, it’s simple reduction
            I can’t belive there adults that can’t pass second grade math

            If you need I can draw it for you like you do it in kindergarten

            0.7% can be written as 0.7/100 or 7/1 000 and you can then do one of following:

            (0.7/100)100 000 = 0.7(100 000/100) = 700
            or
            (7/1 000)100 000 = 7(100 000/1 000) = 700
