At 90% confidence, the z critical value is about z = 1.645; this value you'll need to look up in a table found in the back of your book. You can also use a calculator.
phat = sample proportion
phat = x/n
phat = 110/360
phat = 0.30556
E = margin of error
E = z*sqrt(phat*(1-phat)/n)
E = 1.645*sqrt(0.30556*(1-0.30556)/360)
E = 0.039937
E = 0.0399
