Answer: 11, 30

Explanation:

Given

There were a total of 41 national battlefields and national memorials

Suppose there are
x national battlefields

So, national memorials are
3x-3

The sum of the two must be 41


\Rightarrow x+3x-3=41\\\Rightarrow 4x=44\\\Rightarrow x=11

So, there are 11 national battlefields and
3* 11-3=30 national memorials.
