Stuck on IMC VOR question

21) Your VOR (shown below) is correctly tuned with the OBS set at 150, your desired track. If the variation is 4 degrees west, what is the true bearing from the VOR to your current position?



A 152
B 326
C 146
D 322
You chose B, but the correct answer was D.

I kept ending up with 324 degrees and worked through it several times but it still came back wrong. Where is my mistake?

1. I am wanting to go 150 to the VOR but I am to the right (needle is left so telling me to go left) which means I am 148
2. Because we want to be FROM the vor I add 180 = 328
3. Variation east, compass least. Variation west, compass best = 328M is 324T which is not correct
