Answer:

Answer 2

Answer:

You have 44$, your brother has 11$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the amount of money your brother has.

Since you have four times the amount of money your brother has, we can call the amount of money you have $4x$.

$x+4x=55,\\5x=55,\\x=\boxed{\ 11}$

Thus, you have:

$4(11)=\boxed{\ 44}$
