Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total weekly hours

Total hours = 8 + 8 + 8 + 12 + 9 = 45 hours

Step2: Calculate gross earnings

Gross earnings = Total hours × Hourly rate
$\text{Gross earnings} = 45 \times 14.15 = 636.75$

(for Item 3):

Step1: Calculate daily working hours

Daily hours = 9 - 1 = 8 hours

Step2: Calculate weekly hours

Weekly hours = 8 × 5 = 40 hours

Step3: Calculate gross earnings

$\text{Gross earnings} = 40 \times 14.86 = 594.40$

(for Item 5):

Step1: Calculate Tue-Fri daily hours

Daily hours = 9 hours (10am-7pm)

Step2: Calculate Tue-Fri total hours

Tue-Fri hours = 9 × 4 = 36 hours

Step3: Calculate weekend daily hours

Weekend daily hours = 4 hours (8am-12pm)

Step4: Calculate weekend total hours

Weekend hours = 4 × 2 = 8 hours

Step5: Calculate total weekly hours

Total hours = 36 + 8 = 44 hours

Step6: Calculate gross earnings

$\text{Gross earnings} = 44 \times 13.32 = 586.08$

(for Item 6):

Step1: Calculate daily working hours

Daily hours = 9 - 1 = 8 hours

Step2: Calculate weekly days

Weekly days = 5 (Fri-Tue)

Step3: Calculate weekly hours

Weekly hours = 8 × 5 = 40 hours

Step4: Calculate gross earnings

$\text{Gross earnings} = 40 \times 14.05 = 562.00$
