For an instance, i stands for the money that you have, and b stands for the money that brother has.
An equation system based on the problem would be
i + b = 42 (equation 1)
i = 3b (equation 2)

Use substitution method to solve the problem
substitute 3b into i in the equation 1
i + b = 42
3b + b = 42
4b = 42
b = 42/4
b = 10.5

substitute the value of b into the equation 1
i = 3b
i = 3(10.5)
i = 31.5

You have $31.5 and your brother has $10.5

The marketing department of a sports supply store wants to estimate the percentage of adults in the town who belong to a gym.
velikii [3]
A) If you only sample people in a sports supply store, your sample will be biased.  People in a sports supply store are more likely to be people that belong to a gym.
B) While it does not have necessarily the same amount of bias as sampling people in the sports supply store, people that go to a park are generally more likely to be people that exercise or have a gym membership.
C) Taking a random sample of people in town is a good way to get a non-biased sample.  They are not necessarily predisposed to answer your question one way or another.
D) For the same reason as choice A, this is a biased sample.

C is the best choice.
