Question 498180
if the average of the ages of three men is 54 years, and if no one of them is less than 50 years old, what is the maximum age, in years, of any one man?
:
Let x = the oldest guy
the other two are 50
;
{{{(2(50)+x)/3}}} = 54
Multiply by 3
100 + x = 162
x = 162 - 100
x = 62 is the age of the oldest
