Given:
Alex has 70% of her weekly paycheck automatically deposited into a savings account. This week, $35 is deposited.
We need to determine the equation to find p, the total amount of Alex's paycheck.
Equation for p:
Let us determine the equation for p.
Thus, from the given, we have;
[tex]Total \ weekly \ paycheck = \frac{total \ deposit}{percentage \ to\ be\ deposited}[/tex]
Substituting the values, we have;
[tex]p=\frac{35}{70 \%}[/tex]
Simplifying, we get;
[tex]70\%=\frac{35}{p}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{70}{100}=\frac{35}{p}[/tex]
Thus, the equation to determine the total amount of Alex's paycheck is [tex]\frac{35}{p}=\frac{70}{100}[/tex]
Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
