We are given that 34.9% of all registered doctors were female, and the number of female registered doctors was 49,300. To find the total number of registered doctors, we can set up the following equation:

\[
34.9\% \text{ of the total number of doctors} = 49,300
\]

This translates to:

\[
0.349 \times \text{Total Number of Doctors} = 49,300
\]

To find the total number of registered doctors, divide both sides by 0.349:

\[
\text{Total Number of Doctors} = \frac{49,300}{0.349}
\]

\[
\text{Total Number of Doctors} \approx 141,263
\]

So, the total number of registered doctors is approximately **141,263**.

Would you like more details on any part of the solution? Here are some related questions to expand your understanding:

1. How would the total number of doctors change if the percentage of female doctors were 40% instead of 34.9%?
2. What percentage of registered doctors are male if 34.9% are female?
3. If the number of female doctors increased to 60,000, what would the new total number of doctors be?
4. How do you calculate the percentage from the total number of female doctors and the total number of doctors?
5. If there were 150,000 doctors in total, how many would be female based on the given percentage?

**Tip:** When solving percentage problems, always ensure that the percentage is converted into a decimal before using it in any calculations.

In a recent year, 34.9% of all registered doctors were female. If there were 49,300 female registered doctors that year, what was the total number of registered doctors? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

In this problem, we calculate the total number of registered doctors, given that 34.9% of them are female and there are 49,300 female doctors. Learn how to apply percentage formulas in real-world scenarios.
