It is shown in the Savings Deposit Slip that Demitrius deposited 41.67$.
It is also given that this deposit is 60% of his pay check.

Let the original amount of his paycheck be y, therefore:
60% x y = 41.67
(60/100) x y = 41.67
0.6 y = 41.67
y = 69.45$

Based on this, the amount of his paycheck was 69.45$.
