(a)
Bryan has 40 stickers less than Charlie.
Bryan has 20 stickers more than Adam.
Let the number of stickers that Charlie has be 1 u.
Bryan has 40 stickers less than Charlie.
Number of stickers that Bryan has = 1 u - 40
(b)
Adam has 20 stickers less than Bryan.
Number of stickers that Adam has
= 1 u - 40 - 20
= 1 u - 60
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u - 40 + 1 u - 60 + 1 u
= 1 u + 1 u + 1 u - 40 - 60
= 3 u - 100
