In a recent election, 42% of the voters were male. There were 400 more female voters than male voters. Assuming all voters are either male or female, how many voters were there overall?
Since 42% of voters are male, 58% must be female. Since 58-42 = 16, the difference of 400 represents 16% of the voters. We can then divide 400 by 16 to get 25, which represents 1% of the voters. 25 x 100 = 2500, or 100% of the voters.So the final answer is 2500
