Question

Last year, there were 12,000 students at a local college. There were 2000 more female students than male students. How many male and female students attended the college?

Answer 1

There is 7,000 female students, and 5,000 male students. Because, if there was 2,000 more female students then male, you have to find out what two numbers add up to 12,000. (Tip, to make it easier, take away the thousands, like 7+5)
