"the 3 oldest people in golden city have lived 384 years."
That means, as stated, that person #1 lived 384 years, person #2 lived 384 years, and person #3 lived 384 years.


THIS, "The 3 oldest people in golden city have lived a total of 384 years."
This is different.


Not absolutely clear:
"the difference in ages for the youngest and next oldest is 14. the next oldest is 3 years younger than the youngest. "
