The answer is 30.
First off, the numbers are consecutive even numbers. So, the difference between every consecutive number is 2 (numbers go from even to odd to even to odd...). Since the sum of their numbers is 96, I divided that by 3 to get 32. This gives me the median of the three numbers. To find the smallest number, I simply subtracted 2 from the 32.
This may help:
96/3=32
32 + 32 + 32 = 96
(32-2)+(32+0)+(32+2)=96
30+32+34=93
