hi,
this is a very interesting question.
The number is between 300 and 400 indicates that the digit in the hundred's place is 3.
The number = 40 times the sum of its digits ==> that the units digit is 0.
The tens digit is 6 more than the units digit ==> that the tens digit = 0 + 6
6
Thus the number is 360

Good luck!!!
