Question #6faf3

Answer 1

John receives `$3450` in his paycheck.

Explanation:

We shall express Aailyah's paycheck as `x`, Sara's as `y`, and John's as `z`.

From the data above, we can write:

1. `2x=z+650`

2. `x=y/2+700`

We know that `y=2700` hence substituting it in the second equation, we write:

`x=2700/2+700`

`x=1350+700`

`x=2050`. Hence, Aaliyah's paycheck is `$2050`.

Substituting the value in the first equation, we write:

`2xx2050=z+650`

`4100=z+650`

Subtract `650` from both sides.

`4100-650=z+650-650`

`3450=z`

Hence, John receives `$3450` in his paycheck.
