Solution

Let the total votes be $x$
Then, $31$ % of $x = 31000$
$\Rightarrow \frac{31}{100} \times x = 31000$
$\Rightarrow x = 100000$
Thus, total votes are $100000$ .
Winning candidate got, $53$ $%$ of total votes $=$ $\frac{53}{100} \times 100000$ $=$ $53000$ .
Thus, margin $=$ $53000 - 31000 = 22000$
