Answer: 90

Explanation:

We first need to find three consecutive numbers that adds up to 267. We know that the numbers will be somewhat close to 100 because the sum needs to be past 250.

Let's try 85,86,87.

85+86+87=258

258 is very close to 267. We know that we need to increase our numbers.

Let's try 88,89,90.

88+89+90=267

88,89, and 90 added together gives us 267. The question asks for the largest integer. In 88, 89, 90, 90 is the largest integer.
