3.81%

1) Since the total number of casualties was 3,754 we can find the percentage of 143 teens setting a proportion

3754 -------- 100%

143 ------------ x

Cross multiplying we have

3754x = 14300

x=14300/3754

x=3.809

x≈ 3.81%

2) So the percentage of teen driver deaths was in 2019, 3.81% of all fatalities.
