You can put this solution on YOUR website! write an equation for these problems and solve : seperate 92 into two parts, one of which is 1/3 of the other.
-----------------
x+y = 92
x = (1/3)y
--------
Substitute for "x" and solve for "y":
(1/3)y + y = 92
(4/3)y = 92
(1/3)y = 23
y = 69
x = (1/3)y = 23
