Answer:

682

Explanation:

Population = 853,476

Number of violent crimes = 5817

We are to get violent crime rate per 100000 persons and interpret the result obtained.

Now if population is 1

Crime = 5817/853476

If population is 100000,

Crime = 5817x100000/853476

= 681.56

= 682

We conclude that the violent crime rate is of 682 crimes per 100000
