Answer: 174,899

This is one single number just a bit under 175 thousand. Delete the comma if needed.

========================================================

Work Shown:

x = number of total doctors

24.7% of x = number of female doctors

0.247x = 43200

x = 43200/(0.247)

x = 174,898.785425101 approximately

x = 174,899 when rounding to the nearest whole number
