At Carver Elementary, there are 355 students altogether. The school has 25 more female students than males. How many males and females dose carver have?
Subtract 25 from 355. You get 330. Now divide that in 2 = 165. That means 165 boys, now add 25 to 165 = 190 girls. To check your answer add 190 + 165 and you get 355.

The answer is, 330. What I did was...
355-25=330 :):)
my answer is awesome
To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step.
Step 1: Let's assume the number of males in the school is 'x'.
So, the number of females can be expressed as 'x + 25' (as there are 25 more female students than males).
Step 2: We are given that the total number of students at Carver Elementary is 355. So we can write the equation:
x + (x + 25) = 355
Step 3: Simplify the equation:
2x + 25 = 355
Step 4: Subtract 25 from both sides of the equation:
2x = 355 - 25
2x = 330
Step 5: Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 330 / 2
x = 165
Step 6: Now we know the value of 'x' which represents the number of males (165). We can substitute this value back into the equation to find the number of females:
Number of females = x + 25
Number of females = 165 + 25
Number of females = 190
Therefore, Carver Elementary has 165 males and 190 females.
