Answer

there was 75 million that was killed from the well known disease called the black death...

There were 75 million people that were killed by the Black Death, also known as the Bubonic Plague. The Black Death was in reference to one of three related diseases, one of which was the Bubonic Plague. There is no real evidence of the total body count. They are educated guesses, only that, conjecture. Though rough estimates, they are probably still close enough to inform people.

It wiped out roughly 1/3 of Europe's population, which means it killed about 25-50 million just there.

ANSWER

Estimates put the death toll of the Black Death or plague around 25 Million, or 25-50% of the population of Europe. The plague was first noted in 1347 and carried on for about 3 or 4 years until 1350/51. It is hard to say exactly how many were killed per year, but based on the above information I would estimate about 8.33 Million died each year during the plagues prominence in Europe.

ANSWER

This much is true for Europe. When it came to the world, the total death toll was roughly 75 million people.
