Answer:
First, we need to find out how many people are male and female in the town:
Explanation:
Male population = 48% of 42800 = 20544
Female population = 100% - 48% = 52% of 42800 = 22256
To find out how many more females there are than males, we need to subtract the male population from the female population:
Female population - Male population = 22256 - 20544 = 1712
Therefore, there are 1712 more females than males in the town.
