To solve this problem, we can use a simple proportion. We have the percentage of female registered doctors (16.3%) and the number of female registered doctors (47,600), and we want to find the total number of registered doctors.
Let's assume the total number of registered doctors is represented by the variable "x".
We can set up the proportion using the given information:
(47,600 / x) = (16.3 / 100)
To solve for "x", we can cross multiply:
47,600 * 100 = 16.3 * x
4,760,000 = 16.3 * x
Now, we can solve for "x" by dividing both sides of the equation by 16.3:
x = 4,760,000 / 16.3
x ≈ 291,718.75
Since we're asked to round the answer to the nearest whole number, the total number of registered doctors would be approximately 291,719.
