You can put this solution on YOUR website!

the amount of his paycheck is x
60% of x or %2860%2F100%29x deposited is 41.67:
%2860%2F100%29x=41.67
60x=41.67%2A100
60x=4167
x=4167%2F60
x=69.45
so, the amount of his paycheck is 69.45

let x be the amount of his paycheck, then
(0.60)x = 41.67
x = 41.67 / (0.60) = 69.45
Demetrius's paycheck is $69.45
