%28565650%2F305000000%29%28deaths%2Fpop%29=%28d%2F100000%29%28deaths%2Fpop%29

You would solve here for d.
"pop" short for population, is abbreviated for "people".

%28565650%2F305000000%29%2A100000=%28d%2F100000%29100000

d=%28565650%2F305000000%29100000

d=%28565650%2F3050%29

d=56565%2F305, and numerator and denominator each divisible by 5.

d=11313%2F61, no common factors,... use your best decimal or whole number approximation.
