    Answer:$552.5

    Step-by-step explanation: If Jane uses $68 more the two-fifths of her check pay to buy surfboard that cost $289, then we can translate it as

    $68 + 2/5 of x = $289

    $68 + 2/5 * x = $289

    $68 + 2x / 5 = $289

    2x/5 = $289 - $68

    2x/5 = $221

    2x = $221 * 5

    2x = $ 1105

    x = $ 552.5
