In a recent year, 21.2% of all registered doctors were female. if there were 56,900 female registered doctors that year, what was the total number of registered doctors?

Let the total number of registered doctors = x

Given that in a recent year, 21.2% of all registered doctors were female.

so that means total number of female doctors which are registered = 21.2% of x = 0.212x

Given that there were 56,900 female registered doctors that year. so we can set both equal and get equation:

x=268396.226415

Hence final answer is that there are total approx 268396 registered doctors.
