You don't need the Hardy Weinberg equartion to solve this. It is simple calculation of percent.

total # of specific alleles/total number of alleles.

(40x2)+50/200  is E
(10x2)+10/200 is e

The frequency of E is the frequency of EE plus half the frequency of Ee, and the frequency of e is the frequency of ee plus half the frequency of Ee.
