(a)
Let the number of stickers that Adam has be 1 u.
Bryan has 30 stickers less than Adam.
Bryan has 40 stickers less than Charlie.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 1 u - 30

Charlie has 40 stickers more than Bryan.
Number of stickers that Charlie has
= 1 u - 30 + 40
= 1 u + 10
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u - 30 + 1 u + 10 + 1 u
= 1 u + 1 u + 1 u - 30 + 10
= 3 u - 20
