A particular unit cell is cubic with ions of type A located at the corners and facecenters

Question:

A particular unit cell is cubic with ions of type A located at the corners and facecenters of the unit cell and ions of type B located at the midpoint of each edge of the cube and at the body-centered position. The ions contribute to the unit cell in the usual way (1/8 ion contribution for each ion at the corners, etc.).
(a) How many ions of each type are there per unit cell?
(b) Describe this structure as a lattice and a basis. Check to be sure that the number of ions per unit cell given by your description of the structure as a lattice and a basis is consistent with your answer to part (a).
(c) What is the coordination number of each ion?
(d) What is the name commonly given to this crystal structure?
