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”.
Thank you for attending my TED talk.

Edit: 0.233 murders per 100,000 residents (in 2022) = 126,146,099 (pop of Japan as per the 2020 census) x 0.233 ÷ 100,000 = 294 murders total. The wiki page says the actual count is 289, so the error is probably due the drop in population since the 2020 census.
But its not 230 murders per 100,000. It’s 289 murders total, for the entire population that year.
0.233 out of 100,000 were murdered.
That’s 0.000233% of 100,000 people.
The same table on the Wiki page says that the actual count was 289 murders in 2022. Japan had a population of over 126 million in 2020. If we used your formula, that would mean there were over 289,000 murders in Japan between 2021 and 2022. See below:
230 per 100,000 = 126,146,099 x 230 ÷ 100,000 = 290,136 murders total.
Whereas, 0.233 per 100,000 = 126,146,099 x 0.233 ÷ 100,000 = 294 murders total.
2+2=4, simple maths. But 290k murders per year would explain the population drop, lol.
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
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.
0.07 x 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
0.007‱?
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:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
And as of 2022 it looks like the Christian population of Japan has declined to around .96% of the total population.

Uh, try simple math?
(100,000 x .23)÷100 = 230
230 murders per 100,000 people.
