Question

The u.s. senate has 100 members. after a certain​ election, there were 18 more democrats than​ republicans, with no other parties represented. how many members of each party were there in the​ senate?

Answer 1

Democrats=68, republicans=32

There are 100 members and 2 parties. 100/2=50, there are 18 more democrats then republicans so, 18+50=68. Then 100-68=32. Hope this helps and wasn't too late, :)
