Hello!
If you divide 111 by 3 you get= 37 which is Taylor's age since she is in the middle.

daniee_bruhh · Answer

That would mean that since Brian is the oldest so we can make him a year older= 38 (a year older)

daniee_bruhh · Answer

And Mark would be 36 since he is the youngest (A year down).

daniee_bruhh · Answer

If we add that up we get... 38+37+36=111. 
Hope that helps love!
