$745 × 40% = $298
$745 - $298 = $447
$447 × 1/3 = $149
$447 - $149 = $298

If $745 is 100% of our money, then if we subtract the 40% hotel expenses, we still have 60% left. That's convenient, because 1/3 of 60% is 20%, leaving us 40% left to spend on activities. 0.4 * 745 = $298 left for activities.
