Answer: 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Ben gives 35 to Sonia, 130 to Phill, 75 to Lance, in total he gives away 240 counters. the fraction of the counters left in his bag would be 400-240 which is 160 and so his fraction would be 160/400 and this in simplest form would be 8/20 if you divide by 20 and then to simplify that you can divide by 4 to get 2/5
