The wording of the problem is rather poor. The given angle is given as 43 degrees 40 minutes; and the question asks for the measure of the supplement in degrees.
The wording "...the supplement CONTAINS ____ degrees" is also very awkward.
180 degrees minus 43 degrees 40 minutes is 136 degrees 20 minutes; since the question seems to want the answer in degrees, and since 20 minutes is 1/3 of a degree, the desired answer is apparently 136 1/3 degrees.
