Her gross pay is $421.38

What was Nozomi’s gross pay?

First, we know that she gets $16 per hour, and she worked 20 hours, then she gets:

20*$16 = $320

Now we also know that she receives a percentage of 8% of the gratuities, and the gratuities totaled $1,267.28

The 8% of $1,267.28 is:

$1,267.28*(8%/100%) = $1,267.28*0.08 = $101.38

Her gross pay is:

P = $101.38 + $320 = $421.38
