Math Challenge January 1

Like many other people, one of my New Year's Resolutions is to lose weight. I weighed myself this morning to get a starting weight to see how many pounds I would like to lose. My 3 younger boys thought it would be fun to weight themselves too!

Tyler weighed 62 pounds, Cody weighed 34 pounds, and Luke weighed 27 pounds.

How much did they weigh all together?
