STEP 1

What is this asking? How much money do I make each week before taxes at my new supermarket job? Watch out! Don't forget, "gross pay" means the total amount *before* any taxes are taken out!

STEP 2

1. Calculate weekly gross pay

STEP 3

Alright, so we're working part-time at a supermarket, earning $14.00\$14.00 per hour.
Sweet! We're putting in **23 hours** a week.
To **find our weekly gross pay**, we just need to **multiply** our **hourly rate** by the **number of hours** we work each week.
Makes sense, right?

STEP 4

Let's **do the math**: $14.00/hour23 hours=$322.00\$14.00/\text{hour} \cdot 23 \text{ hours} = \$322.00.
So, our **weekly gross pay** is $322.00\$322.00.
Cha-ching!

STEP 5

Our weekly gross pay is $322.00\$322.00.
