kittyjosh · Answer

It is simple,  just do

Gross Pay = (Hourly Wage)·(Hours Worked) + (0.15)·(Cost of Meals) 

Gross Pay = (3.60)*(35)+(0.15)*(1210)

And you will find the answer to be D. $307.50

You should figure out what you did wrong!  Otherwise, you'll do it again, and might not realize it.

35*3.60 = 126
0.15*1210 = 181.50
126+181.50 = 307.50
