At the end, James is 3u, so 50+50 is 1u

Hope this clear to you.

Why is it + another 50? I mean it only mention that Alex spent $50 but not Janes has 2 x $50...

At 1st James have 2unit. Each unit cut away 50.
So James at the end are
1u + 50 and 1u + 50
Total = 2u + 100
2u + 100 = 3u as James have thrice and Alex 1u.
2u + 100 = 3u
100 = 3u - 2u
100 = 1u

Hope this help
