Rocco's regular pay for 40 hours is $14.5 x 40 = $580.

For the remaining 3 hours, he gets overtime pay at the rate of 1.5 times his regular pay, which is $14.5 x 1.5 = $21.75 per hour.

So his overtime pay is $21.75 x 3 = $65.25.

Therefore, Rocco's gross pay for the week is $580 + $65.25 = $645.25.
