Arithmetic

So like 617k dead in the US total. Total people living in US (legal, and illegal) 333,167,250

617000 / 333167250 = 0.00185% of the US population has passed. 0.00185%
P.S. Menden, don't forget to hit spell-check.
Forgive if I’ve got confused- just woken up from a party. If I understand right...

Two thirds of a million divided by a third of a billion is about two one thousandths, not two one hundred thousandths.

You can’t just divide one by the other and put a % sign there. If you want to put a % sign there you need to jump the decimal point two spaces to the right.

Ie 333167250 / 333167250 = 1.00 = 100%

And 617000 / 333167250 = 0.00185192272 = 0.185192272%
