Stan's, Mark's, and Wayne's ages are consecutive whole numbers (such as, 10, 11, 12 or 78, 79, 80, etc.). Stan is the youngest and Wayne is the oldest. The sum of their ages is 111. Find Stan's age. (50 pt bonus: Find all of their ages).
What is x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 111 -> 3x + 3 = 111 -> 3x = 108 -> x = 36 Stan = 36, Mark = 37, Wayne = 38
