Answer 1

he has 11 you have 44 dollars

Answer 2

You have 44$, your brother has 11$.

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}`
