A politician, who wants to receive the maximum number of votes, spends 9 hours a week speaking to various groups. The table below shows his estimates of how time spent with each group will affect the number of votes he receives:

$\begin{array}{cccc}
&\text { Total Number of Votes from Speaking to: }\
\text { Hours Per } & \text { Loyal Party } & \text { Town } & \text { Local Civic } \
\text { Week } & \text { Members }(L M P) & \text { Meetings }(T M) & \text { Leaders }(\text { LCL }) \
\hline 1 & 400 & 200 & 300 \
2 & 750 & 380 & 560 \
3 & 1050 & 530 & 760 \
4 & 1300 & 640 & 920 \
5 & 1500 & 700 & 1000 \
6 & 1600 & 740 & 1060
\end{array}$
-How many EXTRA votes will the politician receive if he devotes one more hour to speaking engagements (i.e., speaks 10 instead of 9 hours per week)?
