Answer:the total number of registered doctors is 250463

Explanation:

Let x represent the total number of registered doctors

In a recent year 21.6% of all registered doctors were female. It means that the number of registered female doctors would be

21.6 /100 × x = 0.216 × x = 0.216x

if there were 54,100 female registered doctors that year, it means that

0.216x = 54100

x = 54100/0.216 = 250463
