You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If 43,194 were car accidents and 23%2F50 resulted in deaths, so the total will be: x=deaths
x=%2823%2F50%29%2A43194=19869.24 = approximate 19,870 deaths(it's over 19869)
To check it out:
%2823%2F500%29%2A100 = 46%, and
46% of 43194 = 0.46%2A43194=19869.24
Thank you,
