Hi,  

The average weight of 3 boys is 53 pounds. Not one of these boys weighs less than 51 pounds.

 What is the maximum possible weight in pounds, of any one boy?

Note: 2 of them each weighing 51 lb..would allow for the 3rd one to weigh the mostlbs.

  

        51 + 51 + x = 174     |Solve for x
