I think the correct entry on requirement (b) is:

Debit.. Accrued fees receivable
Credit.. Fees

I don't really understand the answer. Can someone explain in more detail and what the numbers are?

In (a) you just have to subtract the fees earned from the unearned fees before any adjusting was made. The difference now becomes your unearned fees account in which unearned fees fall under debit and fees earned falls under credit.

In (b) you just have to copy the amount that was given to you which is $13200.
Accounts Receivable is Debit and Fees earned is Credit.
