The sum of the ages of two friends, Alma and Melina, is twice the total number of points Alma scored in a test. If Melina is three times as old as Alma, and she is 60, calculate Alma's score in the test?
If Melina is three times as old as Alma, and she is 60, Alma is 60/3 = <<60/3=20>>20 years old.
The sum of their ages is 60+20 = <<60+20=80>>80 years.
Since the sum of Alma and Melina's age is twice the total number of points Alma scored in a test, Alma's score in the test was 80/2 = <<80/2=40>>40 points.
