Hello
Excuse me ,while p bar has meaning that proportion in populatiuon is unknown , but in this question you have proportion in populatiuon , but with a simple proportion , you can find sample proportion :

x/100=40/100 => x=40 => sample proportion =x/100=.4

It was my answer , if others have another answer ,i will be glad to hear it.
