In a town election, the winning candidate had 220 more votes
than the loser. If 810 votes were cast in all, how many votes did each candidate
receive?

Assuming that there were two candidates, if 810 votes were polled in total and the winner had a lead of 220, then the winning candidate polled 3.68 votes to every 1 vote polled for the opposition. If however, there were more than two candidates, then the answer can be produced

Let n be the number of votes for the other candidate. Then an expression that would match your statement would be:
n + 220.
That's about all I can surmise from your statement, which really isn't a question... if you can add more detail by adding a note, I'll try to help further.

that's not a question.
