Answer: 35 more video games

Explanation:

Booker owns 85 video games.

If he has three shelves that can each hold 40 video games, we subtract 40 from 85.

85-40 = 45.

We can see that Booker still has more video games.

So we subtract 40 again.

45-40= 5.

And we get 5 extra video games.

Now Booker has two full shelves of video games.

Since the last shelf can hold 40 video games, he puts the last 5 on there.

Which subtracts 5 video games from 40 shelve spaces.

40-5=35!

So Booker has room for 35 more video games.
