<human>:  Mark is 18 years old. He has a little brother, John, who is 10 years younger. If John and Mark's parents are currently 5 times older than John, how old were they when Mark was born?
<bot>: How old is John? ** John is 8 years old because 18-10=<<18-10=8>>8 years old.
How old are Mark's parents? ** Their parents are currently 40 years old because 8*5=<<8*5=40>>40.
How old were Mark's parents when Mark was born? ** Therefore, they were 22 when Mark was born because 40-18 = <<40-18=22>>22 years old.
#### 22
