Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\text{\$810.78}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If regular pay = $14.35/h, then

Overtime pay = 1.5 × $14.35/h = $21.525/h

[tex]\begin{array}{rcr}\text{First 40 h at \$14.35/h}& = & \$574.00\\\text{Next 11 h at \$21.525/h} & = & 236.78\\\text{Gross pay}& = & \mathbf{\$810.78}\\\end{array}\\\\\text{Rob's gross pay for the week will be }\boxed{\textbf{\$810.78}}[/tex]
