(a)
Adam has 50 stickers more than Bryan.
Charlie has 40 stickers less than Adam.
Let the number of stickers that Bryan has be 1 u.
Adam has 50 stickers more than Bryan.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 1 u + 50
(b)
Charlie has 40 stickers less than Adam.
Number of stickers that Charlie has
= 1 u + 50 - 40
= 1 u + 10

Total number of stickers
= 1 u + 50 + 1 u + 10 + 1 u
= 1 u + 1 u + 1 u + 50 + 10
= 3 u + 60
