270093
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
In a recent year 21.4% of all registered doctors were female.
If there were 57,800 female registered doctors that year.
Question asked:
What was the total number of registered doctors ?
Solution:
Let total number of registered doctors = [tex]x[/tex]
As given, 21.4% of all registered doctors were female and there are 57,800 female registered doctors:-
The total number of female registered doctors = 21.4% of total number of registered doctors
[tex]57800=21.4\%\ of\ x\\\\ 57800=\frac{21.4}{100} \times x\\\\ 57800=0.214 x[/tex]
By dividing both sides by 0.214
[tex]\frac{57800}{0.214}=\frac{0.214 x}{0.214} \\ \\ 270093.45=x[/tex]
Therefore, total number of registered doctors are 270093.
