They are 3x3 years ago = 9.
80 - 9 = 71.
80 - 9 = 71.

If their total ages now 80 then three years ago their total ages would be 80-3 = 77.
So, why not 77 is correct?

So to get the right answer, all we do subtract 3 from each person to get 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.
