First, we need to calculate Maryann's hourly rate by dividing her annual salary by her weekly hours:

$45,000 / 52 weeks = $865.38 per week

$865.38 / 35 hours = $24.73 per hour

For the biweekly pay period, Maryann's gross pay is:

Regular pay: 35 hours x $24.73 per hour = $865.55

Overtime pay: 30 hours x ($24.73 per hour x 1.5) = $1,213.22

Total gross pay: $865.55 + $1,213.22 = $1,730.77

Therefore, the correct answer is B.
