John receives $$3450$ in his paycheck.

We shall express Aailyah's paycheck as $x$ , Sara's as $y$ , and John's as $z$ .

From the data above, we can write:

We know that $y=2700$ hence substituting it in the second equation, we write:

$x=2700/2+700$

$x=1350+700$

$x=2050$ . Hence, Aaliyah's paycheck is $$2050$ .

Substituting the value in the first equation, we write:

$2xx2050=z+650$

$4100=z+650$

Subtract $650$ from both sides.

$4100-650=z+650-650$

$3450=z$

Hence, John receives $$3450$ in his paycheck.
