Answer 1

To calculate Akari's gross pay for the two-week period, we need to calculate her pay for each week separately and then sum them up.

1. **First week (38 hours)**:
\[
38 \text{ hours} \times \$12.00/\text{hour} = \$456.00
\]

2. **Second week (46 hours)**:
\[
46 \text{ hours} \times \$12.00/\text{hour} = \$552.00
\]

3. **Total gross pay for the two-week period**:
\[
\$456.00 + \$552.00 = \$1008.00
\]

Therefore, Akari's gross pay for this two-week period is **$1008**.
