Answer

\(\boxed{\text{Gross Pay} = \$1090}\)

Steps

Step 1 :\(\text{Base Salary} = 40 \text{ hours} \times \$22.25/\text{hour} = \$890\)

Step 2 :\(\text{Commission} = \$800 \times 25\% = \$200\)

Step 3 :\(\text{Gross Pay} = \text{Base Salary} + \text{Commission} = \$890 + \$200\)

Step 4 :\(\boxed{\text{Gross Pay} = \$1090}\)
