Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find Joe's gross earnings, we need to multiply the number of packages he delivers by the pay rate per package.
Pay rate per package = $8.51 
Number of packages delivered = 22 
Gross earnings = Pay rate per package x Number of packages delivered 
Gross earnings = $8.51 x 22 
Gross earnings = $187.22 
Therefore, the answer is (C) $187.25. Joe delivers 22 packages, so his gross earnings would be:
22 x $8.51 = $187.25
