Use approximation: 2021 Female % is 80/200 = 40%. 2023 Male % is 160/250 = 64%. Difference is 24%? No, check values again: 2021 Total=200, F=80 (40%). 2023 Total=250, M=160 (64%). Actually, check the graph values carefully to avoid misreading.
Male/Female Marathon participation values (read from graph): 2021 (M=120, F=80), 2023 (M=160, F=90).
