Maribeth's gross pay is the sum of her earnings from cake design and her earnings from non-productive time. Her earnings from cake design are $120 per cake, and she completed 9 cakes, so her earnings from cake design are $120 * 9 = $1,080. Her earnings from non-productive time are $7.25 per hour, and she worked 3 hours of non-productive time, so her earnings from non-productive time are $7.25 * 3 = $21.75. Therefore, her gross pay is $1,080 + $21.75 = $1,101.75.
