Question

In a recent year, 23.9% of all registered doctors were female. If there were 47,400 female registered doctors that year, what was the total number of registered doctors?

Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

23.9% = 47400

divide both sides by 23.9 to find 1%

1% = 1983.26359

now multiply by 100 to find total number of doctors

1983.26359 X 100

100% = 198326
