Answer:

72 alligators, 128 turtles

Step-by-step explanation:

When you put the words into the form of an equation, with a being alligators, you get

3a-16=200

So you have to do 'letters left numbers right'. This gives you

3a=216

Now you have to divide. 216 divided by 3 equals 72. So there are 72 alligators. 200 minus 72 equals 128, so there are 128 turtles
