To calculate Wind Song's gross pay, we'll break down her work hours and apply the appropriate pay rates. 1. **Regular Hours (Monday through Friday):** - **Hours Worked:** 38 hours - **Pay Rate:** \$15.50 per hour - **Total Pay:** \[ 38 \text{ hours} \times \$15.50/\text{hour} = \$589.00 \] 2. **Sunday Hours:** - **Hours Worked:** 8 hours - **Overtime Pay Rate:** Double time (\$15.50 \times 2 = \$31.00 per hour) - **Total Pay:** \[ 8 \text{ hours} \times \$31.00/\text{hour} = \$248.00 \] 3. **Gross Pay:** \[ \$589.00 \text{ (regular)} + \$248.00 \text{ (Sunday)} = \$837.00 \] **Rounded to the nearest cent, Wind Song's gross pay is \$837.00.** **Answer:** **b. \( \$ 837.00 \)**
