We can start by setting up a proportion:
31.1% = 45,300/x
where x is the total number of registered doctors.
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
31.1% * x = 45,300
Divide both sides by 31.1%:
x = 45,300 / 0.311
x = 145,481.98
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the total number of registered doctors is 145,482.
In a recent year,
31.1%
of all registered doctors were female. If there were
45,300
female registered doctors that year, what was the total number of registered doctors?
Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
