Answer:

The number is 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be n.  Increasing this by 30 results in n + 30.  Tripling this result results in 3(n + 30) = 141.

Multiplying as indicated:  3n + 90 = 141, or

                                            3n = 51

Solving for n, we get n = 51/3 = 17
