Subtract the difference of girls and boys from total kids:

35 -13 = 22

Divide 22 in half:

22/2 = 11


number of females = 11

Number of males = 11 + 13 = 24

Answer:

24 males, 11 females

Step-by-step explanation:

Solved with equations:

m = males, f = females

The equations:

[tex]m+f=35\\m-f=13[/tex]

Add the two equations:

[tex]2m=48[/tex]

[tex]m=48/2=24[/tex] males

Number of females:

[tex]24+f=35\\f=35-24\\f=11[/tex]

Hope this helps
