Givens

28.1 % are females

42000 are female doctors.

100% is what is required.

Equation

28.1% / 100% = 42000 / x Cross Multiply

28.1 * x = 42000 * 100 Combine

28.1 * x = 4200000 Divide by 28.1

28.1/28.1 x = 4200000/28.1

x = 149466 is the total doctors

Answer

149366 is the total number of doctors.
