Distinct points AA and BB are on a semicircle with diameter MNMN and center CC. The point PP is on CNCN and ∠CAP=∠CBP=10∘\angle CAP = \angle CBP = 10^\circ. If arc MAMA is equal to 40∘40^\circ, then find arc BNBN (in degrees).

Original LaTeX notation
Distinct points $A$ and $B$ are on a semicircle with diameter $MN$ and center $C$.  The point $P$ is on $CN$ and $\angle CAP = \angle CBP = 10^\circ$.  If arc $MA$ is equal to $40^\circ$, then find arc $BN$ (in degrees).
