We need to know the hourly wage and multiply it by the number of hours worked per week. Since Weishan is paid at the minimum wage rate, we can look up the current federal minimum wage, which is $7.25 per hour. 
So, Weishan's gross pay per week is:
$7.25/hour x 21 hours/week = $152.25/week 
However, Weishan's net pay (take-home pay) will be lower once taxes and other deductions are taken out. Therefore, the best choice is B, which calculates Weishan's gross pay correctly as $152.25/week.
