How do I find the rate?

Calculate the injury rate in number of injuries per 10,000 participants.

Injuries: 644,921 Participants: 33,300,000

Is there an equation that can help me solve this?

    you can simply divide #injuries / #participants to get the number of injuries per participant. It will be a value less than 1, obviously. Then multiply that by 10,000. The result is number of injuries per 10,000 people

    10,000/33,300,000 = n/644,921

    33,300,000n = (10,000)(644,921)

    33,300,000n = 6,449,210,000

    n = 6,449,210,000/33,300,000

    n = 193.67 ≈ 194 injuries per 10,000 participants
