You're a bus driver and you're driving downtown. At the first stop, you pick up 2 girls (ages 7 and 8) and 1 boy (age 10). At the next stop, you pick up a senior citizen going to the senior citizen center. At the next stop, you pick up a man carrying a dog. The man is 24 and his dog is 3. All of the school children get off of the bus. At the next stop, you pick up a 69 year old woman carrying 4 packages. The next stop is the end of the line and all of the remaining passengers get off of the bus. What is the age of the person left on the bus?

IF you know the answer and are sure please reply ASAP I only have 15 minutes to answer this....

Thanks!

My teacher posted extra credit for answering these type of questions. That is the only one that stumped me. It was a timed test online... Thanks again.
