Let A and B events in sample space such that: P(not A and not B) = 0.20 P(A) = 0.6 P(A|not B) = 0.5 Find P(B), P(not A|B)

What I tried doing is since P(not A and not B) = 0.20 then 0.20 = 1 - P(A or B) which implies P(A or B) = 0.8, so then now since P(A|not B) = 0.5 then implies P(A and B) = 0.1, so P(B) = 0.3 and P(A|not B) = 0.5 but the answers are P(B) = 0.4 and P(A|not B) = 0.5, how come P(B) = 0.4 and not 0.3?
