    2.75 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    City A received x inches of rain.

    City B experienced three times the amount of rainfall than City A, therefore:

    City B received 3x inches of rain.

    Since both cities received 11 inches of rainfall in total.

    We have that:

    x+3x=11

    4x=11

    Divide both sides by 4

    x=2.75 Inches

    Therefore, we City A received 2.75 inches of rain.
