The Native American population in state A and B is 282,000 and 94,000 respectively.

Here, we are given that State A's population of Native Americans is three times the Native American population of State B.

Let the Native American population in state B be x

Thus, the Native American population in state A will be 3x

Total Native American population in state A and B = 376,000

Thus, we can get the following equation-

x + 3x = 376,000

4x = 376,000

x = 376,000/ 4

x = 94,000

⇒ 3x = 3 × 94,000

3x = 282,000

Thus, the Native American population in state A and B is 282,000 and 94,000 respectively.
