help with gcse maths bearing question

can someone help me with this question? not just telling me the answer - explaining how to do it

a plane takes off from a runway in a north-west direction. it then turns through an angle of 75 degrees to its right. a helicopter, flying on a bearing of 232 degrees, needs to fly in the same direction. what turn must the helicopter make? (im assuming as a bearing)

My advice would be to draw yourself a diagram with the different angles on it first

Heyyy
If you are yet to solve it I could help you out

North-West direction implies an angle of 45° between the N and W.
Do you have a screenshot of the question? What year what GCSE did you find the question?
