150 more male bats need to be tagged

if you want 2/5 to be female you divide the 260 (<160+100) by 2 to get 130
then you multiply 130 by 3 to get the total amount of male bats that need to be tagged
130*3=390
then you subtract 240 from the 390 to find out how many more bats need to be tagged
390-240=150
