Final answer:
To determine Jackie's gross pay, her total hours worked should be multiplied by her hourly rate. Given this, the correct gross pay is not mathematically supported by the provided options and there might be a typographical error in the hourly rate provided for Jackie's wages.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question seeks to calculate the gross pay for Jackie who has worked a total of 73.75 hours at a rate of $1345 an hour. To find the gross pay, we need to multiply the total hours worked by the hourly rate. Therefore, the gross pay for Jackie would be 73.75 hours × $1345/hour.
Calculation:
73.75 hours × $1345/hour = $99,223.75
However, since this result does not match any of the given options, let's re-evaluate the hourly rate provided. If there is a typo and the hourly rate was meant to be $13.45 instead of $1345, the gross pay calculation would be:
73.75 hours × $13.45/hour = $991.87 (which is not provided in the options either).
Considering there might be a typographical error in the question, neither of the gross pay computations match the provided options a), b), c), or d). It would be necessary to obtain clarification on the correct hourly rate before determining the accurate gross pay.
The situation described resembles an income-related problem where earnings from work are calculated to determine total income, similar to the example provided wherein Jason's earned income from work hours is considered alongside his government benefits.
