To calculate the weekly gross earnings, we need to add the regular and overtime pay.
Regular pay: 40 hours * $25/hour = $1000
Overtime pay: 5 hours * ($25/hour * 1.5) = $187.50
Total pay: $1000 + $187.50 = $1,187.50
Therefore, the correct answer is D) $1,072.50, which is the closest value to $1,187.50.
