As the other guy mentioned, 0.23% per 100,000 doesn’t make sense. That’s like saying 0.23 murders per 100 (cent) per 100,000. One of those per Xs is redundant.
The Wikipedia page linked says Japan has a murder rate of 0.233 per 100,000 residents. If this made sense as a percent, it would mean a percentage of 0.000233%. But this statistic wouldnt work as a since a “percentage” implies a fraction of a whole, for example 50% of a population is born male.
The original statistic under discussion says that there are “X number of murder cases per 100,000 people living in country”, rather than “Y% of the country’s population is murder victims”, which wouldn’t make sense anyway since the dead aren’t part of the population; i.e. you wouldn’t see a statistic like “20% of the population is dead” but rather “20% of the population died”, and “90% of the deaths were by murder” rather than “18% of the population is murder victims”.
This is why punctuation is important.
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
0.07 x 100 000
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.
a simple math says: 0.7/100*100 000 = 0.7 * 1 000 = 700 so, 700 on 100k people

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
Not even sure what year this is from cause the murder rate in Japan is .23% per 100,000 as of 2022.
Interestingly the United States is at 5.7% per 100,000 as of 2023.
Relevant Wikipedia article:

And as of 2022 it looks like the Christian population of Japan has declined to around .96% of the total population.

Thank you for attending my TED talk.
Edit: formatting
Uh, try simple math?
(100,000 x .23)÷100 = 230
230 murders per 100,000 people.
