3,070 would be about 3% of 100,000. The percentage calculated is too high if the 170,000 is correct |
Well you are right as far as the way those figures are shown, but I think there was a simple mistake: 3,070 may want to represent 5.2 % of the total casualties (58,176, as reported above in the site).
Am I right?
