Girls outnumber boys by 5
Say boys = b
girls = b + 5
The equation b+(b+5)=35
this can be simplified to 2b+5=35
then to 2b=30
b would be 15
so there’s 15 boys and 20 girls
The election question would be the same
Losing is = L
Winner is = L+2700
So L+(L+2700)=13300
2L+2700=13300
2L=10600
L=5300
The loser had 5300 votes
The winner has 8000 votes
