Jordan and his bro got 100 dollar to divied up. If 1/3 of the money jordon got was the same as 1/2 the money his bro got how much money did his bro get

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.
