3 people run for president.  John manages to capture 150 votes. James captures 70% of the remaining vote.  If there were 1150 people voting, how many more votes did the third guy get than John?
There were 1150-150=<<1150-150=1000>>1000 people who didn't vote for John
That means James got 1000*.7=<<1000*.7=700>>700 votes
So the other candidate got 1000-700=<<1000-700=300>>300 votes
This means he got 300-150=<<300-150=150>>150 more votes than John.
#### 150
