(a)
Adam has 40 stickers less than Charlie.
Bryan has 50 stickers more than Adam.
Let the number of stickers that Charlie has be 1 u.
Adam has 40 stickers less than Charlie.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 1 u - 40
(b)
Bryan has 50 stickers more than Adam.
Number of stickers that Bryan has
= 1 u - 40 + 50
= 1 u + 10
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u - 40 + 1 u + 10 + 1 u
= 1 u + 1 u + 1 u - 40 + 10
= 3 u - 30
Answer(s): (a) 40; (b) 10; (c) 30
