Question

If Aliyah’s paycheck doubles, she would be making $650 more per paycheck than John. Aliyah’s paycheck is $700 more than one half of Sara’s. Sara makes $2700 per paycheck. How much does John make per paycheck?

Answer 1

Aliyah's is 1/2(2700) + 700 = 1350 + 700 = 2050

 

Doubles that: 4100

 

4100 - 650 = 3450 for John

 

 

John 3450

Aliyah 2050

Sara 2700
