His bi-weekly gross pay = $1,440

Step-by-step explanation

Hourly pay rate = $18.00 per hour

Number of hours worked = 40 hours a week

 

Gross pay = Hourly pay rate * Number of hours worked

 

Since we are asked to find the bi-weekly rate. Bi-weekly means in two weeks.

 

The number of hours will be multiplied by 2

Number of hours worked = 40 hours a week

 

= 40 * 2

 

= 80 hours

 

 

Gross pay

 

= $18 per hours * 80 hours

 

= $1,440
