    total of votes: 1600-> this means votes for Martha plus the votes for Hillary

    If we divide 1600 by 2 people, this leaves 800 votes for each girl.

    800-81=719 for Hillary

    800+81=881 for Martha

    We take 81 votes, from those 800, and place them in martha's votes

    Just to confirm: 881+719=1600 total votes
