A student got thrice as many marks in Arithmetic as in English. If the total of his marks in the two
subjects is 128, how many marks did he get in English?
Let x - be his marks in English
3x - be his marks in arithmetic
x+%2B+3x+=+128
4x+=+128
x+=+32
Therefore the student got 32 marks in english and 96 marks in arithmetic.
Hope it helps.
