Add 1,629 + 96.
The divide 1,620/answer. And then divide 96/answer
That tells you the percentage of people who died from cancer or guns of the total people who died from cancer or gun deaths. That's a pretty useless number, but then again, the OP is pretty shitty.

What if someone with cancer shoots someone else?
I think it's like dividing by 0

This is the only one that would be remotely useful

To put it another way, for every 1 person who dies from gun deaths (96/96), 16.875 people die from cancer (1620/96). Should probably round to 17 people.

74.8% of percentages you see in papers are made up.

Percentages are the least of your worries. The root cause is your stupidity.

I'm pretty concerned with what you are writing your paper about if you are comparing these two subsets to derive any type of value.

See, he estimated that and we're all better off for it.

Are you in 6th grade? Jesus christ! You can't figure out simple percentages?
When I want to get a percentage of something that isn't "obvious" (like if there are 10 people and 5 of them are female, what percentage is male?) I just break it down, if I explain it it would sound more complicated than it is, but it is how I do it in my head, but I always end up looking at it in the simplest form. 10 is 100%, you take two away, that's 20% so you now have 80%. It's more to it than that, but I just have it in my head a certain way..

Damn Slackster I thought that is what he was looking for in all that rambling.

Say 1,620 people die a day from cancer, and 96 people a day die from gun violence, what is the percentage of people who die from cancer than guns per day.
I think your looking for a ratio. You can't compare a percentage of unrelated things. Maybe try percentages of yourself deaths vs your categories of how they died.

OP ain't no good at English neither. I think what he was asking was how many percent more people die from cancer than gun violence.
I believe it's (1620-96)/96 x 100 = 1587.5% more people die from cancer than guns
Posted on 4/11/18 at 12:48 pm to CCTider
1620 - 96 = 1524. ie, 1524 more people die from cancer than gun shots per day.
100 x (1524 / 96) = 1587.5 % more people die from cancer than gun shots per day.
Call it 1,600 % more.
