= 80 - (amar3 + akbar3 + anthony3).
= 80 - 9.
= 71.
= 80 - 9.
= 71.

Every year each ones age will increase by 1 therefore together it would be 1+1+1 = 3, (Amar + Akbar + Anthony's total age grew by= 3 years in one year).
Now what would be the total increment in their age in 3 years, i.e., 3x3=9.
9 years is how. Much all the 3 of them together grew, so minus 9 from 80 which is their present total age.
= 71.

See there are 3 person so 3 we've to take then multiple 3 with that 3 person it'll come 9
So 80-3x3=71
So 80-3x3=71

Thank you its great to see like this problems make mind really sharp, off course however there is 3 persons so we took out from every one 3 years so like that if we do means it must be 9, which has to be taken out from total age.
So 80-3-3-3=71.
Thanks I got it and I tried to explain to stranger who won't get it.
