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? Let's think first. Chain of thought:

There were 1150 - 150 = 1000 people who didn't vote for John. That means James got 1000 * .7 = 700 votes. So the other candidate got 1000 - 700 = 300 votes. This means he got 300 - 150 = 150 more votes than John.
Therefore, the answer is 150.
