Every month, the sixth-grade students at Madison Middle School vote to decide which of two fun subjects they will learn about during homeroom. This month, there were 8 students who voted to learn about magnets for every 3 that voted to learn about magic tricks. If 25 more students voted to learn about magnets than voted to learn about magic tricks, how many students voted to learn about magnets?
