The value of a professional basketball player's autograph rose 40% in the last year. It is now worth $364.00. What was it worth a year ago?

You said that  $364  =  1.4 of last year's number.

Divide each side by  1.4 :  Last year's number = $364/1.4 = $260 .

I'm trying hard not to call these numbers "the value".
Let's just call them "the going rate" or "the price".
Could you live with that ?
