To calculate Akari's gross pay for the two-week period, we first need to calculate her earnings for each week.
For the first week:
Earnings = 38 hours * $12.00 = $456
For the second week:
Earnings = 46 hours * $12.00 = $552
Total gross pay for the two-week period:
$456 + $552 = $1008
Therefore, Akari's gross pay for this two-week period is $1008.
Akari works at a local coffee shop and makes $12.00 an hour. Last week, she worked 38 hours; this week she worked 46 hours. What is her gross pay for this two-week period?

Gretchen is hired as a sales person, and her base salary will be minimum wage. However, she will earn a $200 commission for every sale she makes. Her new boss let her know that most salespeople at this firm average 8-10 sales a week except for the month of January when sales drop dramatically and do not pick up until mid-February or early March. Is this legal?
