There is an uncomplete story under this link,
but there is no complete mathematical problem there.
What is the reason of posting that link to the forum,
if there is no complete Math problem under it ?

English translation (from google translate):
A physical education teacher divided his class of 24 students into 2 groups the first group played football after 15 minutes he asked four students to join the first group at this time there were three times as many students in the first group than in the second group.
There is no question there, so of course we can't find the answer.
It is interesting to note however, that, in the google translation, the sentence structure "three times as many ... than" is not good English. When comparing numbers with phrases like that, it is correct to say "three times as many ... as", or to say "three times more ... than"; but " three times as many ... than" is not proper English.
However, the second phrase " 3 times more than" is almost always misused to mean the same as 3 times as many as; in fact, "3 times more than" means "4 times as many as" (the number, plus 3 MORE TIMES the number, which is 4 times the number).
So even if the problem contained a question, we wouldn't know what the real information is, so we wouldn't be able to answer the question.
It is further interesting to note that the English translation found by tutor @ikleyn translates the French as "three times more than"....
