let the total no. of votes be x
65% of x - 35% of x = 600
30% of x = 600
30 × x/100 =600
x =600 × 100/30
x = 2000

Answer 2

Total number of votes polled is 2000

Two candidates fought in an election .

One of them got 65%

No. of votes of winner =$65\%x=0.65x$

So, Other got = 100%-65% = 35% $= 0.35x$

Winner wins by 600 votes

So,$0.65x-0.35x=600$

$0.30x=600$

$x=\frac{600}{0.3}=2000$

Hence Total number of votes polled is 2000
