Answer:
There are 327,811 doctors.
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage of female doctors = [tex]16.9[/tex]%
Number of female doctors = [tex]55,400[/tex]
Percentage of Male doctors = [tex]100-16.9[/tex]%
=[tex]83.1[/tex]%
So if [tex]55,400[/tex] doctors are represented by [tex]16.9[/tex] how many doctors are represented by [tex]100[/tex]%?
[tex]100[/tex]% represents total number of doctors.
⇒[tex]\frac{55,400}{16.9} \times100[/tex]
=327,810.65
Number of doctors has to be a whole number so we rounf off the number to nearest whole number:
Therefore there are 327,811 doctors.
