Answer:

30 more females

Explanation:

From the middle two bars, we can see MALES and FEMALES percentage.

Male = 6.4%

Female = 9.3%

Now, this is a very simple ratio problem if we understand it properly. It is given that 67 males have asthma, according to graph that is 6.4%.

To find females that have asthma, we can setup two ratios and solve for "f" (number of females having asthma):


(6.4)/(67)=(9.3)/(f)\\6.4f=9.3*67\\6.4f=623.1\\f=97.35

Rounding down, we can say around 97 females have asthma.

We want to know HOW MANY MORE females have asthma.

Since males = 67 and females = 97, that would be:

97 - 67 = 30 more females
