To find the total amount of Alex's paycheck, we need to solve for \( p \) in the equation:
\[ \frac{35}{p} = \frac{70}{100} \]
First, simplify the fraction on the right side:
\[ \frac{70}{100} = \frac{7}{10} \]
So the equation becomes:
\[ \frac{35}{p} = \frac{7}{10} \]
Now, to solve for \( p \), we can cross-multiply:
\[ 35 \times 10 = 7 \times p \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 350 = 7p \]
Next, divide both sides by 7:
\[ p = \frac{350}{7} \]
\[ p = 50 \]
So, the total amount of Alex's paycheck is \( \boxed{50} \).
35/p = 70/100

5,500/p = 55/100
p = $?
p = $?
To find the value of \( p \) in the equation:
\[ \frac{5,500}{p} = \frac{55}{100} \]
First, simplify the fraction on the right side:
\[ \frac{55}{100} = \frac{11}{20} \]
So the equation becomes:
\[ \frac{5,500}{p} = \frac{11}{20} \]
Now, to solve for \( p \), we can cross-multiply:
\[ 5,500 \times 20 = 11 \times p \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 110,000 = 11p \]
Next, divide both sides by 11:
\[ p = \frac{110,000}{11} \]
\[ p = 10,000 \]
So, the value of \( p \) is \( \boxed{10,000} \).
\[ \frac{5,500}{p} = \frac{55}{100} \]
First, simplify the fraction on the right side:
\[ \frac{55}{100} = \frac{11}{20} \]
So the equation becomes:
\[ \frac{5,500}{p} = \frac{11}{20} \]
Now, to solve for \( p \), we can cross-multiply:
\[ 5,500 \times 20 = 11 \times p \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 110,000 = 11p \]
Next, divide both sides by 11:
\[ p = \frac{110,000}{11} \]
\[ p = 10,000 \]
So, the value of \( p \) is \( \boxed{10,000} \).
