"Uno de cada diez personas" is a literal translation. This works for the common expressions such as "diez de cada diez usuarios de SpanishDict tienen preguntas sobre la gramática."
Okay, so my example is kind of a joke, so I will give you a more straightforward one: "una de cada diez personas es artista." (This is a made up statistic.)

I like the first funny one even more. Plus, it seems more real :) - rogspax, Jan 26, 2013
