#324309# doctors were registered that year.

Explanation:

The questions says, "18.1% of all registered doctors are females"

(Consider, total number of registered doctors as #x#)
that's, #18.1%# of #x# are female.
and #18.1%# of #x# is #58,700#.

Mathematically,
#18.1/100 * x = 58700#

#x=58700*100/18.1#

#x=324309# doctors were registered that year.
