YES!!! it is 360 - 117 = 243

For bearing (navigation) . Bearing of due North is bearing zero(0) . Then moving around the compass clockwise due East is bearing 090 , die South is bearing 180 and due West is bearing 270 .

However, if starting at bearing zero(0) and moving ANTI-Clockwise , the first bearing is 270 , which is 90 degrees of turn. The 90 degrees in anti =clockwise is the inverse.

NB For ALL bearings you quote three digits. So due East , bearing 90 is quoted as '090'. This is normal navigational practice.
