The conditional probability Pr[B|A] is 4/5; the conditional probability P[B|not A] is 2/5, and the unconditional probability of B is 1/2. What is the probability of A?

i know that i can use the law of total probability Pr[B]=Pr[B|A]Pr[A]+Pr[B|not A]Pr[not A]
but i don't know how to find Pr[not A](i thought that Pr[not A] was 0.6 because P[B|not A] = 0.4 thus Pr[not A] = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6 but apparently is not true, so i dont know how to find Pr[not A]
