Help!!

Can someone please explain this question to me i am finding it hard to understand what exactly to do.....
Use the following data to calculate the mass of the particles shown.
mass of proton= 1.6726 x 10^-24 g
mass of neutron= 1.6749 x 10^-24 g
mass of electron= 9.1094 X 10^-28 g
Avogadros constant= 6.0221 x 10^23

a) calculate the mass of a 1H atom.
b) calculate the mass of a 1H+ ion.
c) calculate the mass of a 3H atom.

I think:

a) 1H atom is made up of 1 proton and 1 electron so its mass is the sum of the mass of these
b) similar to a but the ion has lost a proton
c) 3H is made up of 1 proton, 2 neutrons and 1 electron

Not sure that Avogadro's constant is required

did you ever find out how to do it? 😭😭
