Answer:
Jordon's brother got $40
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up a system of equations to solve this.
Let's say that Jordon got x dollars.
His brother got y dollars.
x+y=100 since they are dividing the 100 dollars
1/3x=1/2y (the same indicates that they are equal)
Multiply the entire second equation by 3.
x=1.5y
Now we can substitute 1.5y in for x in the first equation.
x+y=100
1.5y+y=100
2.5y=100
Divide both sides by 2.5
y=40
Jordon's brother got $40.
Plug that in to find how much Jordon got.
x+y=100
x+40=100
Subtract 40 from both sides
x=60
Jordon got 60.
