Answer:

2.998% or 3 out of every 100 deaths was caused by diabetes mellitus

Explanation:

The formula to calculate proportional mortality ratio is:

Deaths caused by a particular cause divided by Deaths from all causes× 100.

Deaths caused by diabetes mellitus = 73,249

Total deaths by all causes = 2,443,387

So we have: 73,249/2,443,387 = 0.029978, multiply this by 100

0.029978 x 100 = 2.9978% approximating to 3 decimal place will give you 2.998%
