Explanation:

Step1: Calculate daily paid hours

First, find total time from 8:30am to 5pm: 8.5 hours. Subtract 0.5 hour unpaid lunch.
$8.5 - 0.5 = 8$

Step2: Calculate weekly paid hours

Multiply daily paid hours by 5 workdays.
$8 \times 5 = 40$

Step3: Calculate daily earnings

Multiply hourly rate by daily paid hours.
$\$13.85 \times 8 = \$110.80$

Step4: Calculate weekly earnings

Multiply daily earnings by 5 workdays.
$\$110.80 \times 5 = \$554.00$

Step5: Calculate annual earnings

Multiply weekly earnings by 52 weeks.
$\$554.00 \times 52 = \$28,808.00$

Step6: Calculate sick week earnings

Subtract 1 day's earnings from weekly earnings.
$\$554.00 - \$110.80 = \$443.20$

Step7: Compute 13a gross pay

Multiply hours by hourly rate.
$40 \times \$9.85 = \$394.00$

Step8: Compute 13b gross pay

Multiply hours by hourly rate.
$34 \times \$9.10 = \$309.40$

Step9: Compute 13c gross pay

Multiply hours by hourly rate.
$29 \times \$8.71 = \$252.59$
