We can let 4x and 5x be the new numbers of Repulbican and Democratic voters after the additional voters from both parties, respectively. We can create the equation:

(4x - 600)/(5x - 500) = 3/5

5(4x - 600) = 3(5x - 500)

20x - 3000 = 15x - 1500

5x = 1500

x = 300

Therefore, after the additional voters from both parties, there are 4(300) = 1200 Republicans and 5(300) = 1500 Democrats. We see that the number of Democrats is 300 more than that of Republicans.

Answer: B
