Answer: Leo is 24 years old,

Explanation:

Let 'x' denotes the age of Mark.

Given , Leo is three times older than Mark.

i.e. Expression for Leo's age =

Since , sum of their age is 32, then

$x+3x=32\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4x=32$

Now , divide both sides by 4 to get the value of x.

$x=(32)/(4)\Rightarrow x=8$

Thus , Age of Mark = 8 years

Age of Leo = 3 (8) = 24 years

Therefore , Leo is 24 years old.
