Answer:

Multiple answers.

Explanation:

State A and State B together have 94 counties. State A has more counties than state B. So there can be multiple answers. Let us assume that you mean the two numbers are as close as possible. A+B=94. 94/2 is 47, so the two numbers as close as possible are 46,48. The lowest you can get is 2 and 92.
