Answer: <em>230 - the total amount of sweets.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Adrian received 8 pieces of sweets;</em>

<em>Ben got 5 pieces of sweets;</em>

<em>Charlie received 10 pieces of sweets.</em>

<em>The sum of all parts:</em>

8 + 5 + 10 = 23

<em>Let's calculate how many parts Charlie got more than Adrian:</em>

10 - 8 = 2

<em>It is also known that Charlie received 20 more sweets than Adrian. This means that you can calculate how many sweets are in one part.</em>

<em>20 : 2 = 10</em>

<em>Now we can calculate the total amount of sweets:</em>

<em>10 × 23 = 230</em>
