Question

In a recent year, 33.1% of all registered doctors were female. If there were 53700 female registered doctors that year, what was the total number of registered doctors?Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

It's given that 33.1% of all registered doctors were female, corresponding to 53700 female registered doctors.

It's required to find the total number of registered doctors.

The total number of doctors corresponds to 100%, so we use the inverse percentage calculation:

`n=(53700)/(33.1)\cdot100=162236`

There were 162236 doctors in total
