To calculate Jaylen's gross pay for the week, we first need to find his total earnings before any deductions or withholdings:
Total earnings = hours worked * hourly wage = 51 hours * $22/hour = $1,122
Next, we will add the extra deduction for his special Christmas account:
Total deductions = $210 (regular deductions) + $90 (retirement fund withholdings) + $25 (special Christmas account) = $325
Finally, we can calculate Jaylen's gross pay for the week by subtracting the total deductions from his total earnings:
Gross pay = Total earnings - Total deductions = $1,122 - $325 = $797
Therefore, the closest answer choice is $1,274 when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
