To calculate Vincent's gross pay, we need to calculate his regular pay for 40 hours and his overtime pay for the additional 14.5 hours.

Regular pay: 40 hours x $12.72/hour = $508.80
Overtime pay: 14.5 hours x ($12.72/hour x 1.5) = $274.66
Gross pay: Regular pay + Overtime pay = $508.80 + $274.66 = $783.46

Therefore, the closest option is B) $785.46.
