The paycheck amount is $ 1666.67
Solution:
Given that Harry said that he got a 15 % bonus in the paycheck
The bonus was $ 250
To find: paycheck
Let the paycheck amount be "x"
From given statement,
15 % bonus from paycheck amount is $ 250
Therefore, 15 % of x is 250
[tex]15 \% \text{ of } x = bonus\\\\15 \% \text{ of } x = 250[/tex]
Here "of" represents multiplication
[tex]\rightarrow 15\% \times x = 250\\\\\rightarrow \frac{15}{100} \times x = 250\\\\\rightarrow 0.15 \times x = 250\\\\\rightarrow x = \frac{250}{0.15} = 1666.67[/tex]
Thus the paycheck amount is $ 1666.67
