The total of the ages of Amar, Akbar, and Anthony is given as 80 years currently. To find the total of their ages three years ago, we subtract 3 years from each of their ages. Since there are three individuals, the total subtraction is 3×3=93\times 3=93×3=9 years. Therefore, the total of their ages three years ago was:
80−9=71 years80-9=71\text{ years}80−9=71 years
So, the total of their ages three years ago was 71 years
