Explanation:

If Rob earns $8.00 per hour for working his regular hours, and earns time and a half for any overtime he works, then his hourly overtime pay is:

• $8.00 x 1.5 = $12.00

If his regular hours are 40 hours a week, and one week he worked a total of 50 hours, then the number of hours overtime he worked is:

• 50 - 40 = 10 hours

Therefore, his pay comprises:

• 40 regular hours at $8.00 per hour = 40 x 8 = $320

• 10 overtime hours at $12.00 per hour = 10 x 12 = $120

• Total hours = 50 hours

• Total pay = 320 + 120 = $440

Substitute these values into the given table:

`\begin{array}r\cline{1-3} \vphantom{\frac12} & \sf Hours & \sf Total \\\cline{1-3} \vphantom{\frac12} \sf Regular &40 & \$320\\\cline{1-3} \vphantom{\frac12} \sf Overtime & 10&\$120 \\\cline{1-3} \vphantom{\frac12} \sf Gross & 50&\$440 \\\cline{1-3} \end{array}`
