The high school marching band has a total of 100 students There are 3 times as many girls in the boys How band?

Let's use variables to represent the unknowns:

* Let 'b' represent the number of boys in the band.

* Let 'g' represent the number of girls in the band.

We know:

* g = 3b (There are 3 times as many girls as boys)

* b + g = 100 (The total number of students is 100)

Now we can solve for 'b' and 'g':

Substitute the first equation (g = 3b) into the second equation:

b + 3b = 100

Combine like terms:

4b = 100

Divide both sides by 4:

b = 25

Now substitute the value of 'b' back into either equation to find 'g'. Let's use the first equation:

g = 3b = 3 * 25 = 75

Therefore, there are $\boxed{25}$ boys and $\boxed{75}$ girls in the marching band.
