Answer: The total cholesterol is 199

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cholesterol = LDL + HDL + Triglycerides

= 77 + 62 + 60

= 199.

As the patients doctor, I'd advise that the patient makes life style changes as they are approaching total cholesterol of 200 which is borderline high. Life style changes will include diet changes especially.
