Let us assume that the units place of a two digit number is x.

Then as per the question, tens place of the number is 3x.

Thus the two digit number is 10(3x) + x.

If we interchange the digits the number becomes : 10x + 3x

     According to the question,

                   10(3x) + x + 10x + 3x = 88

or                      30x + 14x = 88

or                            44x  = 88

Dividing both sides by 44, we get

                       x = 2

Hence the two digit number is 10(6) + 2 = 62

Note that the two-digit number can also be found if we reverse the digits. So one more possible number is 26.
