In a recent year 17.3% of all registered doctors were female. If there were 52,900 female registered doctors that year, what was the total number of registered doctors? Round to the nearest whole number

If 17.3% equals 52,900, then
1% equals 52,900/17.3, and
100% equals 52,900/17.3*100 = 305,780.34

Hence, the total amount of doctors is about 305,780
