Question

For this question I don't need the entire thing answered. I just need an explanation for calculating E for the first part. I know = E = surface density/Eo. I know surface density is Q / Area. What I need explained is why Q is equal to 50nC, how is that determined when the plates are aligned -50nc, +100nc, -50nc in the diagram attached.

So, I just really need to understand that first part. thanks
